Osgood-Schlatter Disease
Osgood-Schlatter Disease
A painful condition affecting adolescents during a growth spurt, characterized by inflammation and pain at the tibial tuberosity (where the kneecap attaches to shinbone).
Tibial Tuberosity
Tibial Tuberosity
The bony bump below the kneecap that connects the patellar tendon to the shinbone.
Growth Plate at Tibial Tuberosity
Growth Plate at Tibial Tuberosity
The growth plate located at the tibial tuberosity, which is vulnerable to damage during Osgood-Schlatter.

Study Notes
Viva Voce Stations
- Students have a viva voce with 4 stations.
- A coin toss determines which stations a student is assigned to.
- Potentially, 8 injuries can be assessed per student.
- 2 stations assess acute injuries.
- 2 stations assess chronic injuries.
Viva Topics
- Knee Injuries: Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury, Elbow joint dislocation, Hamstring strain, Ankle sprain, Patella tendonitis.
- Other Injuries: Osgood-Schlatters syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis, Chondromalacia patellae.
Osgood-Schlatter Disease
- Causes pain and swelling in the knee in adolescents.
- Due to growth spurts.
- Pain is below the knee joint, at the tibial tuberosity, where the kneecap meets the shinbone.
Anatomy of Osgood-Schlatter
- Damages the growth plate at the tibial tuberosity and patellar tendon.
- Can result in irregular bone growth.
- Swelling and reduced mobility occur.
Predisposing Factors for Osgood-Schlatter
- Growth spurts: during adolescence.
- Quadriceps muscle overuse: Repeated contractions weaken the ossification centre.
- Knee extension: Repeated straightening beyond the normal range.
- Tight surrounding muscles: (quadriceps) and increased tension on the patellar tendon, often worsened by sports activities with running and jumping.
- Male gender presents an increased risk.
Mechanism of Osgood-Schlatter
- Excessive subtalar pronation: This involves excessive outward rolling of the foot.
- Excessive pulling on the tibial tuberosity: Caused by the patellar tendon during growth spurts in adolescents, leading to swelling below the knee.
Treatment for Osgood-Schlatter
- Reduced load: This involves reducing activities that stress the knee.
- Orthotics: Used to limit subtalar pronation and stress on knee ligaments.
- Sports withdrawal: Temporarily resting from sports activities.
Program Modifications (Potential Treatment)
- Stretching program: Quadriceps stretch (3 x 30 seconds), seated calf stretch (5 x 30 seconds), and knee straightening (3 times per hour).
- Massage therapy: Focused on the quadriceps muscles.
- Muscle strengthening exercises: If possible.
