Based on several previous studies, it is known that knee OA is correlated with knee injury and that play an important role in the expansion of knee OA. Objective: This research aims to find out the relationship between knee injury history with knee OA severity and to estimate the risk of knee OA after knee injury. Methods: This research used observational analytical methods with a retrospective hospital-based cohort study design. Using consecutive sampling technique. The total research sample was 68 participants who Indonesian National Police Mobile Brigade Corps had knee OA period January 1 2021-December 31 2023 at the RS Bhayangkara Tk. I Pusdokkes Polri Jakarta. Result: There was a significant relation between knee injury history with knee OA severity (p = 0.011) and odds ratio 5.0 (95% CI: 1.6-15.9). Characteristics of members of the Indonesian National Police Mobile Brigade Corps with the highest risk of knee OA, namely in the pre-elderly with an age range of 45 - ≤ 59 years (66.2%), female (51.5%), work unit of the Headquarters Mobile Brigade Corps (45.6%), had a history of knee injury (70.6%), with mild degrees (1-3) (73.5%), and the majority experienced anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury (23.5%).
