Popis: The association between knee injury and knee osteoarthritis (OA) is understudied relative to its importance, particularly in younger populations. This study examined the association of knee injury with radiographic features of knee OA in military officers, who have a physically-demanding profession and high rates of knee injury.Participants were recruited in 2015-2017 from an existing program that enrolled 6,452 military officers during 2004-2009. Officers with a history of knee ligament or meniscal injuries (n=117 via medical record review) were compared to officers with no history of knee injury (n=143). Bilateral posteroanterior knee radiographs were obtained using a standardized fixed-flexion positioning frame. All images were read for Kellgren-Lawrence grade (KLG), osteophyte (OST), and joint space narrowing (JSN) scores. Data were analyzed using linear-risk regression models with generalized estimating equations.Injured and non-injured participants were similar (mean age=28 years, mean body mass index=25 kg/mAt the midpoint of a projected 20-year military career, officers with a history of traumatic knee injury have a markedly increased prevalence of knee rOA compared to officers without injury.
