Location

Osgood-Schlatter disease occurs at the tendon-bone junction of the patellar tendon and the tibial tuberosity. ^[1] The tibial tuberosity is a slight elevation of bone on the anterior, proximal portion of the tibia. The patellar tendon attaches the anterior quadriceps muscles to the tibia. ^[2] OSD takes place just below the kneecap.

Long-Term Implications

OSD occurs from the combined affects of tibial tuberosity immaturity and quadriceps tightness. ^[2] There is a possibility of migration of the ossicle or fragmentation in Osgood-Schlatter patients. ^[1] The implications of OSD and the ossification of the tubercle can lead to functional limitations and pain for patients into adulthood. ^[3]
