Osgood–Schlatter disease (OSD)

April 27, 2016 By Fernando Soutullo

Osgood–Schlatter disease (OSD)

Dear Instructors/ Teachers / Masters:

I believe in interaction and team work! I share this article with  some information about different kinds of problems that can arise from strenuous physical activities today. I will be talking about teenagers, is important to read it just as General Information or just because it happens to one of your students or in your practice.

Prevention is a Paramount!

Below the article there are three definitions that I took from the internet about this condition, some of these definitions are medical based.

Usually competitions and shows place a great deal of stress on martial arts students, sports people or dancers, they push their body to the limit and injuries start happening, after all the human body is just a machine and it can be broken.

This Patology called Osgood–Schlatter disease (OSD) happens on the knee just below the Knee cap where there is a prominent tuberosity that becomes very tender ( read definitions below)

If a teenager starts feeling abnormal pain in that area to the touch  ( figure 1)

it  is advisable stop all activities and get a doctor consultation as soon as possible.

This is diagnosed by X- rays ( figure 2), Usually it is more a fissure than a fracture.

There are Physical Therapy treatments available but the best approach is that

Parents- Doctors- Physical Therapist and Instructors / Teachers start working together to provide a full healthy recovery for the child. I have seen cases where people didn’t follow instruction just in the spur of the competition and what was a simple condition that could have been solved in 4 weeks turned into a fracture.

Most cases that follow the appropriated direction get full recovery and student are back into his normal sporty life.

At the beginning REST is the key while just doing soft controlled exercises that  cause no pain.

A progressive exercises program should be developed, It is important to mark which activities are allow and which are NOT.

Nowadays there are new techniques and modalities ( Laser- MPS ) to address every stage of the healing process but communication interaction and following proper directions are the baseline to get to a good end.

I hope this article must have been of some use.

 Definitions: 

Osgood–Schlatter disease (OSD)

Osgood–Schlatter disease (OSD), also known as apophysitis of the tibial tubercle, or Lannelongue’s disease, is an inflammation of the patellar ligament at the tibial tuberosity. It is characterized by a painful lump just below the knee and is most often seen in young adolescents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease

 Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a common causes of knee pain in active adolescents. OSD is a traction phenomenon resulting from repetitive quadriceps contraction through the patellar tendon at its insertion upon the skeletally immature tibial tubercle. … A similar process can occur …

http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1993268-overview

Osgood-Schlatter disease can cause a painful lump below the kneecap in children and adolescents experiencing growth spurts during puberty.

Osgood-Schlatter disease occurs most often in children who participate in sports that involve running, jumping and swift changes of direction — such as soccer, basketball, figure skating and ballet.

While Osgood-Schlatter disease is more common in boys, the gender gap is narrowing as more girls become involved with sports.

Age ranges differ by sex because girls experience puberty earlier than do boys. Osgood-Schlatter disease typically occurs in boys ages 13 to 14 and girls ages 11 to 12.
