“…Despite this, cases in adults have been reported [ 8 ]. OSD has been associated with other pathologies and alterations, such as compartment syndrome, meniscal and patellar tendon injuries [ 9 ] or hyperactivity and attention deficit [ 10 ]. In addition, nearly 40% of patients reported pain after long-term follow up, which may lead to consequences such as the chronification of knee pain and the appearance of tendinosis, which, in turn, will end up conditioning the application of surgical techniques [ 11 ].…”

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.
