Osgood-Schlatter Disease (Youth Knee Pain)
[Boy's Knee Pain after Sport]
Thank you for reading this article.
It is NOT growing Pain.
It is something related to Juvenile Knee Pain, with Wear & Tear at the TIbial bone.
Something can be done.
Benphysio currently has 3 outlets, which are located in Oval Damansara, Bangsar, and Puchong.
B.E.N. stands for Biomechanic, Effective treatment, and Non Conventional Physiotherapy.
Our goal is to INTRODUCE to the community, that WE ARE DIFFERENT. Physiotherapy is NOT only TENS, Ultrasound.
We specialised in Manual Therapy, Myofascial Release technique.
We are No#1 Manual PhysioTherapy in Malaysia.

* condition that causes pain and swelling below the knee joint, where the patellar tendon attaches to the top of the shinbone (tibia), a spot called the tibial tuberosity.
*Common cause of knee pain in CHILDREN/GROWING ADOLESCENTS.
*It is a traction apophysitis at the skeletally immature tibial tubercle due to repetitive strain on the secondary ossification center of the tibial tuberosity.
*It can lead to inflammation of the patellar tendon at the tibial tuberosity, resulting in pain and swelling just below the knee.
*Traction apophysitis occurs when repeated excessive load pulls on the tendon insertion causing partial avulsions of the apophysis and inflammation
Develops between 9-15 Y/O
- The tibial tubercle consists of cartilaginous tissue in girls < 11 y/o and in
boys <13 y/o.
The unossified tibial tuberosity is more susceptible to injury.
Common in YOUNG ADOLOSCENTS who PLAY SPORTS
- Repetitive strong Quadriceps contraction
- Patellar tendon excessively strained
- Repeated traction apophysitis on the anterior portion of the developing can cause the ossification center to crack
- This can result in callus formation during healing.
- The affected area may become fibrous, creating a separate persistent ossicle, or may show complete bony union with some enlargement of the tibial tuberosity.
- Avulsion fracture of tibial tuberosity may also occur
Risk factors
- Age: female (11-13 years old) & male (12-15 years)
- OSD was originally reported to occur more in male compared to female. However, recent studies have shown that there is no significant difference in the prevalence of OSD between males & females.
- The incidence is higher in athletes than non-athletes (21& to 4.5%)
- Rapid skeletal growth
- Training program
- Lower extremity flexibility
- reduced core stability
- BMI
Clinical presentation - Complains of pain in the tibial tubercle or patellar region after physical activities
- Palpable & painful lump below the knee
- Pain worsens with physical activities
- Tightness of the Quadriceps
Diagnostic procedure
- The diagnosis is based on typical clinical findings (see clinical presentation).
- Radiographic examinations of both knees to rule out the possibility of tumors, fractures, ruptures or infections.
- Sonographic examination can also be used: cartilage and bony surface, the patellar tendon, soft-tissue swelling anterior to the tibial tuberosity, and fragmentation of the tibial tuberosity.
- Stretching exercise
- Strengthening exercise
- Patient education
