Abstract
Purpose: Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a common cause of anterior knee pain in children. The natural history of childhood OSD has been described in detail in the literature, and it has been shown to be a largely self-limiting condition which resolves with closure of the growth plates. However, some children with OSD continue to suffer with anterior knee pain into adulthood. The ‘unresolved Osgood-Schlatter lesion’ is recognised by Orthopaedic surgeons, and the removal of a so-called 'mobile ossicle' from the patella insertion is said to result in good symptom relief.
