Osgood-shlatter disease or tibial osteochondritis is a traction apophysitis of the patellar tendon near its insertion within the tibial tuberosity. Osgood-Shlatter disease is a clinical diagnosis and is the most common cause of anterior knee pain in adolescents. The diagnostic hallmark is distal patellar tendinosis with incresed fluid signal around and deep infra-patellar bursitis as well as osseous edema of the tibial tuberosity.
