Can I get some feedback to share with my providers regarding Osteoarthritis primary, secondary and traumatic. More specifically the difference between secondary and traumatic for documentation purposes and to code to highest specifications with ICD 10.Thanks so much for your help and feedback.
 
Primary is wear and tear, usually develops later in life

Secondary has a cause - obesity, inactivity, genetics, inflammation from other diseases

Traumatic follows an injury
