Osgood Schlatter condition is a disorder that results in discomfort and inflammation under the knee joint, at the tibial tuberosity, in which the patellar tendon connects to the bottom of the shinbone. Furthermore, the patellar tendon, which runs across the kneecap, may be inflamed as well.
This disease affects males aged 12-14 and girls aged 10-13. The disparity is due to the fact that girls reach puberty earlier than boys. When the child’s bones stop growing, the problem normally goes away on its own.
Moreover, children who participate in activities that require sprinting, jumping, and quick changes of direction, like soccer, figure skating, and ballet, are more likely to develop this condition.
