Obesity, genetic factors, and aging are some of the most prominent risk factors (Sharma et al., 2006), and in the younger population, previous knee injury is an important contributor to increased prevalence of knee OA – as much as half of those sustaining a knee injury in their 20s had developed posttraumatic knee OA in the following 12 to 14 years (Lohmander et al., 2004, 2007; von Porat et al., 2004).
