Case Discussion
Osgood-Schlatter disease is an osteochondrosis of the anterior tibial apophysis. It occurs most commonly in pre-adolescent males between 11 and 15 years of age.
It is mostly found in children who play sports in which repeated quadriceps muscle use is required to jump, run and change direction, e.g. athletics, basketball, soccer, dance, skating.
