Post-traumatic osteoarthritis is the most common variation of post-traumatic arthritis. [3] Between 20 and 50% [4] of all osteoarthritis cases are preceded by post-traumatic arthritis. Patients having post-traumatic osteoarthritis are usually younger than osteoarthritis patients without any previous physical injuries. [5]

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting about 237 million people or 3.3% of the world's population as of 2015. [ 4 ] [ 12 ] It becomes more common as people age. [ 1 ] Among those over 60 years old, about 10% of males and 18% of females are affected. [ 2 ]
Post-traumatic arthritis can initially be managed with conservative options like activity modification, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDs), specialized footwear, and cortisone injections. [18] If patients still have pain and impaired ankle function after these measures, then other procedures such as ankle arthrodesis and ankle ...
[1] [2] There are different types of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Scapholunate advanced collapse is the most common form, followed by scaphoid non-union advanced collapse (SNAC). [3] Other post-traumatic causes such as intra-articular fractures of the distal radius or ulna can also lead to wrist osteoarthritis, but are less common.
Hip dislocations are at risk for osteonecrosis of the femoral head, femoral head fractures, the development of osteoarthritis, and sciatic nerve injury. [9] [10] Given the strength of ligaments in the foot and ankle, ankle dislocation-fractures can occur. [11]
[1] [2] Specifically, arthralgia is a symptom of injury, infection, illness (in particular arthritis), or an allergic reaction to medication. [ 3 ] According to MeSH , the term arthralgia should only be used when the condition is non-inflammatory, and the term arthritis should be used when the condition is inflammatory .
If the joint surface is damaged and heals with more than 1–2 mm of unevenness, the wrist joint will be prone to post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Half of nonosteoporotic patients will develop post-traumatic arthritis, specifically limited radial deviation and wrist flexion. This arthritis can worsen over time. [6]
