Knee Osteoarthritis in Athletes is Sports-Specific, Dependent on Previous Injuries

A study of the American College of Rheumatology presented at Annual Scientific Meeting revealed that the risk of knee osteoarthritis for athletes depends on the sport they go for and whether they havу had a knee injury in the past, though some kinds of sports carry a special risk on their own.

In different studies, researchers examined more than 3000 athletes playing different sports and it turned out that 8% of former athletes developed knee osteoarthritis, this number was lower than the 9% of people who were not engaged in sports. All in all, sport played a significant role in the risk of osteoarthritis in athletes.
