Osgood-Schlatter disease is a 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.
This bump is called the tibial tuberosity, which is where the tendon from the knee cap inserts. Osgood-Schlatter disease is most often seen in children between the ages of 10 and 15, is more common in males, and appears during a period of rapid growth.
Some children with Osgood-Schlatter disease develop a hard, bony bump near where it affects their tibial tubercule. That extra bone grows as a response to the irritation in their knee. It’s possible to have the bump surgically removed, but most people live with it for the rest of their lives.
Treatment for Osgood-Schlatter disease includes reducing the activity that makes it worse, icing the painful area, using kneepads or a patellar tendon strap, and anti-inflammatory medication. Surgery is rarely used to treat Osgood-Schlatter disease.
Osgood-Schlatter disease is an overuse condition or injury of the knee that causes a painful bump and swelling on the shinbone below the knee. Osgood-Schlatter disease typically affects kids during their preadolescent growth spurt: in the tweens (10 to 13) for girls and the early teens (12 to 14) for boys.
