I had surgery on my knee a few years back. Could what they did have caused arthritis?

They drilled into the growth plate to stop growth on my right knee so my left knee could catch up, and possibly even out. The surgeryydidn’tt work very well, and my legs never evened out. However, that is not my point. Could the drilling have caused arthritis or another condition that could be giving me mild to severe knee pain? If it’s a different condition, can you please tell me what it is? Thanks in advance!

No the surgery would not cause arthritis. Arthritis is hereditary. It is an incurable disease of the auto-immune system.
I guess it is possible that you have arthritis by definition. Which would mean you dont have the soft carttelidge between your bones which acts like a shock absorber when you move your joints. But Im pretty sure it wouldnt be diagnosed as that.
I just found this site on google It has plenty of information about arthritis
