Early-onset kneecap arthritis, and associated pain and disability, affects younger adults at an alarming rate after serious knee ligament injury – “young people, old knees”. This research aims to identify modifiable risk factors for early-onset kneecap arthritis (reconstruction surgery, knee biomechanics and functional deficits) which will aid the development of interventions to minimise onset and progression of kneecap arthritis, and reduce the burden of this important public health problem.

严重的膝关节韧带损伤后，早发性膝盖骨关节炎以及相关的疼痛和残疾以惊人的速度影响着年轻人——“年轻人，老年人的膝盖”。本研究旨在确定早发性膝关节关节炎的可改变危险因素（重建手术、膝关节生物力学和功能缺陷），这将有助于制定干预措施，最大限度地减少膝关节关节炎的发病和进展，并减轻这一重要公共卫生问题的负担。
