Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability whose prevalence and incidence continue to increase. History of joint injury represents an important risk factor for posttraumatic osteoarthritis and is a significant contributor to the rapidly growing percentage of the population with osteoarthritis. This review will present the epidemiology associated with posttraumatic osteoarthritis, with particular emphasis on the knee and ankle joints. It is important to understand the effect of posttraumatic osteoarthritis on the population so that sufficient resources can be devoted to countering the disease and promoting optimal long-term health for patients after joint injury.
骨关节炎是导致残疾的主要原因,其患病率和发病率持续上升。关节损伤史是创伤后骨关节炎的一个重要危险因素,也是导致骨关节炎患者在人口中所占比例迅速增长的一个重要因素。本综述将介绍与创伤后骨关节炎相关的流行病学,特别强调膝关节和踝关节。了解创伤后骨关节炎对人群的影响非常重要,这样才能投入足够的资源来对抗这种疾病,并促进关节损伤后患者的最佳长期健康。
