"Post-traumatic OA can be due to immediate mechanical damage (e.g. osteochondral injury), as the sequelae of inflammation, or due to chronic biomechanical alternations from joint instability 1,6. There is a latency period that can range from 6-12 months to 10-20 years from the time of injury to post-traumatic OA symptoms onset 1."
