  Background: Although knee injury has been linked to a higher chance of developing knee Osteoarthritis (OA), the amount of quantifiable risk varies greatly. Our goal was to thoroughly examine the connection between previous knee injuries and OA. Methods: Between August and October 2010, six electronic databases were checked.
