Injuries
Traumas and injuries during sports and other physical activities can be another common cause of osteoarthritis. Therefore, professional athletes can be at high risks. Some common forms include ligament injuries, dislocated joints, as well as torn cartilage. All of these conditions would be caused by some accidents when you are playing or performing. To reduce the risks, it is important to wear protective gear and avoid playing for an extended period. In some serious cases, surgery might be needed to remove damaged joints and restore the basic functions of remaining tissues. [13]
