Osgood Schlatter Condition Directory

Osgood Schlatter condition (formerly known as Osgood-Schlatter's disease) is a painful condition characterized by tiny, microfractures of the bony bump in the lower leg bone (tibia) where the ligament from the kneecap (patella) inserts into the tibia. The bump is known as the tibial tubercle. It affects early teenagers, especially during a growth spurt, and athletes of either sex who are active in games requiring substantial running and/or jumping. It is a common, temporary condition that usually requires only rest and restraint from further strenuous activity for a short period of time before it heals itself. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about Osgood Schlatter condition, what it looks like, how to treat it, and much more.
