04/08/2026 When inflammation in the knee joint develops months or years after a traumatic knee injury, it’s known as post-traumatic knee arthritis. Knee pain from injury can make it difficult to walk, stand or exercise, but knee arthritis doctors in the Bronx know the best way to treat a wide variety of knee pain conditions.

What Causes Post-Traumatic Knee Arthritis?
Experiencing a traumatic injury — such as a fall, vehicle accident or sports injury — may eventually lead to post-traumatic knee arthritis, especially if you try to return too quickly to the same level of activity you had before the injury.
Examples of types of injuries that may cause post-traumatic knee arthritis include:

• Fractures
• Sprains or strains
• Torn cartilage, such as a meniscus tear
• Torn ligament, such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
• Torn tendon

When any part of the knee is injured, there may be abnormal joint alignment, which can affect the way you walk. The knee can become unstable, accelerating joint degeneration. Injuring multiple ligaments or injuring the same joint multiple times makes the risk of developing post-traumatic knee arthritis even higher. Being overweight is another factor that increases the risk of developing knee arthritis.
Post-traumatic knee arthritis is a form of osteoarthritis or degenerative arthritis caused by wear and tear on the knee. Aging and degeneration may cause osteoarthritis to develop as you age, but post-traumatic knee arthritis can affect people of all ages.
