A member asked:
Can osteoarthritis be triggered or caused by a fall or injury? thanks for your help in advance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osteoarthritis is a wear and tear process evolving over time. A fall or injury affecting one or more joints will add increased damage to the specific joints and accelerate the pre-existing degeneration.
