A member asked:
Does osteoarthritis reduce the amount that you can grow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Osteoarthritis does not affect the growth rate of bones or joints. Most of the time osteoarthritis develops after bones and joints have stopped growing. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis can sometimes affect bone and joint development.
