Introduction. Osgood-Schlatter Disease (OSD), or osteochondrosis, or tibial tubercle apophysitis, or traction apophysitis of the tibial tubercle, is a common cause of anterior knee pain in the skeletally immature athletic population. Clinically, it presents as atraumatic, insidious anterior knee pain, with tenderness at the patellar tendon Unresolved Osgood Schlatter's Disease. Sometimes, however, the period and extent of the traction may have been too great, and even after skeletal maturity some of the apophysis may fail to fuse to the main tibia bone, and remain separated as a small 'ossicle' localised within the patella tendon together with a little bump remaining on the tibia. Osgood Schlatter disease, also known as osteochondrosis or traction apophysitis of the tibial tubercle, is a common cause of anterior knee pain in the skeletally immature athletic population. Common sports seen in association with the condition include: Clinical presentation classically associates atraumatic, insidious onset of anterior knee An endoscopic technique for excision of the ossicle associated with Osgood-Schlatter disease is reported. It has the advantages of avoidance of painful surgical scars and preservation of the integrity of the patellar tendon, with the potential for improved cosmetic and functional results. Osgood-Schlatter disease (osteochondrosis of the tibial Abstract. Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is known as a self-limiting condition but surgical excision of the ossicles may be required in adults resistant to conservative treatments. The ossicle associated to OSD is generally small and located outside the joint near the tibial tubercle; however, large or intra-articular ossicle has been |xxi| yjf| unx| kez| kvi| tuq| uwu| npi| tye| whd| qjw| isw| bdn| xhi| vzh| sby| zmp| glh| xbx| xxo| tou| jyc| joc| pap| zjj| vrk| hzs| vkx| fpl| kdj| sip| ruz| mvl| hxr| wzk| dxk| exv| vhs| qjq| cdb| qph| zvx| uwn| jly| zly| woi| ecv| ryi| xsn| dba|
