Abstract

Osgood-Schlatter disease is the traction apophysitis of tuberositas tibia and the most common cause of knee pain in adolescents. Despite the frequent discomfort, sequelae are rarely observed. In this paper, sequelae of Osgood-Schlatter disease, presenting with knee pain in the emergency room were submitted. Rarely encountered in the emergency department in adult patients presenting with knee pain with sequelae of Osgood-Schlatter disease, the need to be aware of the diagnosis, clinical and radiological features and differential diagnosis are discussed.
