Can you get osteoarthritis from a knee injury?

hi
i damaged my knee when i slipped and fell over on it 3yrs ago.i tore a ligament and a chip came off my bone"i think it was the knee-cap".my knee was put in a cast for 2weeks and thats all the treatment i received.when i kept going back to the doctor complaining of a pain under my knee-cap and painfully when going up stair,he sent me to physio,but that was no help.
I have been going complaining to my gp every month or so and he sent me to a orthopedic surgeon.i had an mri scan and it came back ok and then an x-ray.
The surgeon then says my problems with my knee might be genetic.my knee was perfect before the fall and my family has no problems whatsoever. i know myself it was from the fall and nothing else.
I am 29year old male"catherine is my missus!".
thanks...

I'm sure you already know this, but this type of arthritis is the break by the breakdown down of and eventually loss cartilage. Most cases have no known cause. The cartilage wears down with age, which explains that injury cannot cause this type of arthritis.
