Osteoarthritis is caused by the normal wear and tear on a joint over time. Therefore it effects more older adults than younger. It is also caused by a trauma to a joint. Any joint injury can lead to arthritis in that joint. Just because you have a joint injury does not mean that you will get arthritis in that joint.
This trauma can be because of an injury cased by an accident or can be injury caused by repetitive motion.

I don't think it can be caused by injury. It may be something that seems similar, but isn't.
Yes it can be caused by injury to a joint. I got in a care accident a couple years ago and messed up my knees, now im 23 with bad arthritis.
