“…The prevalence of OSD ranges from 6.8% to 33% [ 13 , 14 , 15 ], affecting 1 in 10 athletic adolescents [ 3 ], and depends on factors such as the degree of development, the sport discipline or the presence of preventive programs [ 6 ]. For example, Lucena et al found a prevalence of 9.8% among males and females (mean age 13.7 years) [ 8 ], while Kujala et al reported a prevalence of 12.9% (mean age: 13.1 years) [ 9 ].…”

Osgood-Schlatter Disease: Appearance, Diagnosis and Treatment: A Narrative Review

Osgood-Schlatter disease is the most common osteochondritis of the lower limb in sport-practicing children and adolescents. Its manifestation usually coincides with the appearance of the secondary ossification center of the tibia and is linked to the practice of sports with an explosive component. In the present study, a review of the factors related to its appearance, diagnosis and treatment was carried out. Its appearance seems to be multifactorial and related to multiple morphological, functional, mechanical and environmental factors. Given all the above, risk factor reduction and prevention seem the most logical strategies to effectively prevent the appearance of the condition. In addition, it is essential to create prevention programs that can be objectively assessed and would allow to stop the progress of the pathology, particularly in those sports where high forces are generated on the insertion zone of the patellar tendon at sensitive ages. More studies are needed to clarify which type of treatment is the most appropriate—specific exercises or the usual care treatment.

“…The pain usually occurs during and after physical activity and might be associated with local swelling. Many patients are completely asymptomatic, with less than 25% of patients reporting pain at the TTA [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. The age of onset is typically between 10 and 15 years in boys and between 8 and 13 years in girls.…”

“…Boys have it more often than girls, with a male-to-female ratio of 3:1 [ 3 ]. The prevalence of OD is 9.8%, and it can be bilateral in 20–30% of patients [ 4 , 5 ]. Many risk factors and activities have been associated with the increase of incidence of the pathology, but its etiology and etiopathogenesis are not fully understood.…”

The Etiology and Risk Factors of Osgood–Schlatter Disease: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

The etiology and etiopathogenesis of Osgood–Schlatter Disease (OD) are not fully understood. The aim of this review is to systematically analyze the available literature about the etiology and risk factors of OD. The literature was systematically reviewed using the PRISMA criteria to evaluate all studies published in the last 25 years (between 1996 and 2021) dealing with the etiology of OD. A total of 16 articles were included. The etiology and risk factors of OD are controversial. The main articles focused on muscular factors (mainly tightness of the rectus femoris), alteration of the patellar tendon or extensor mechanism, mechanical factors (repetitive solicitation, trauma, sports), tibial anatomy (tibial slope or tibial torsion), and histological alteration. Associations with ankle kinematic and behavior disorders were also reported. Many theories about the etiology, risk factors, and associated factors of OD have been reported in the literature, but more studies are needed to fully understand the etiopathogenesis of this disorder.
