Osgood Schlatters

What Is It / Causes

What is it/Cause

  • Overuse condition or Injury
  • Knee Pain in growing adolescences with growth spurts
  • Irritation of the bone growth plate
  • Pain at the tibial tubercle
  • The bony bump where the patellar tendon attaches to the tibia (shinbone)
  • Constant tightness of the patellar tendon bellow the knee where the tendon attaches
  • Enlarged, inflamed tibial tubercle is nearly always tender when pressure is applied

Symptoms

  • Swelling and knee pain and tenderness at the tibial tubercle
  • Tight muscles in the front (quadricep) or back (hamstring) of the thigh
  • Tenderness below the knee
  • Swelling around the knee
  • Limping

Homostaatic Relavance

Homostatic Relavence

  • Inflammation occurs for repair process
  • White blood cells and other cells to destroy bacteria and cancerous cells and eat up dead or dying cells
  • Vitamin D important in calcium phosphate homeostasis, and its deficiency leads to disruption in the growth plate organization.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis/

Treatment

The doctor applying pressure to the tibial tubercle, which should be tender or painful for a patent with Osgood-Schlatter disease. In addition, the doctor may also ask your child to walk, run, jump, or kneel to see if the movements bring on painful symptoms. Your doctor may also order an X-ray image of your knee to help confirm the diagnosis or rule out any other problems

Other Diagonsis

Forms of Diagnosis

  • X-Ray

  • (MRI):
  • Megnatic
  • Resonance
  • Imaging

Treatment

  • Simple measures like rest, ice, over-the-counter medication, and stretching and strengthening exercises will relieve pain and allow a return to daily activities
  • Stretches for the front and back of the thigh (quadriceps and hamstring muscles) may help relieve pain and prevent the disease from returning.
  • Using kneepads or a patellar tendon strap and anti-inflammatory medication.
  • Limiting exercise activity

In almost every case, surgery is not needed. This is because the cartilage growth plate eventually stops its growth and fills in with bone when the child stops growing. The bone is stronger than cartilage and less prone to irritation. The pain and swelling go away because there is no new growth plate to be injured. Pain linked to Osgood-Schlatter disease almost always ends when an adolescent stops growing.

In rare cases, the pain persists after the bones have stopped growing. Surgery is recommended only if there are bone fragments that did not heal. Surgery is never done on a growing athlete, since the growth plate can be damaged.
