Osgood-Schlatter Disease is a common condition in children and adolescents that can cause pain and swelling in the knee. In this article we will explore how this disease is treated and how it can affect the quality of life of young people. We will learn about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options that help these people return to their daily activities.
What is Osgood-Schlatter Disease?
Osgood-Schlatter Disease is a condition that affects children and adolescents in their growth stage.. This disease is characterized by inflammation of the bone and cartilage of the upper part of the tibia, just below the knee, and is caused by overexertion of the leg due to sports activities or rapid growth.
In this condition, the growing bone can separate from the cartilage, which causes pain, swelling, and tenderness in the lower part of the knee. Additionally, the child or adolescent may feel pain when doing physical activities such as running, jumping, or climbing stairs.
Osgood-Schlatter Disease is classified as a form of osteochondrosis, A condition in which bone and cartilage do not develop properly. Although it can be painful, this condition usually resolves on its own once the child or adolescent completes their growth.
However, symptom management may include physical therapy, rest, ice, and anti-inflammatories. It is important for children and adolescents to avoid activities that make pain worse and to seek medical attention if symptoms do not improve over time.
At what age does Osgood-Schlatter disease appear?
Osgood-Schlatter disease usually appears between the ages of 10 and 15, a key time when the growth stage is accelerated.
Bones grow faster than muscles and tendons during this period, creating greater stress on the area where the patellar tendon inserts into the tibia. Although it is increasingly diagnosed in girls, it is more common in boys, especially those who regularly participate in sports.
This condition can affect one or both knees, since both its development and evolution are directly related to bone growth.
Symptoms of Osgood-Schlatter Disease
The most common symptom of Osgood-Schlatter Disease is knee pain, especially below the kneecap. This pain can be mild or severe and is felt during or after physical activity.
There may also be swelling, sensitivity to touch, and redness in the affected area.. Children and adolescents who present with these symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
How is Osgood-Schlatter disease diagnosed?
The diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter disease is primarily clinical, since it is enough for the specialist to identify the pain located in the tibial tuberosity, below the kneecap.
In general, imaging tests are not necessary, although an X-ray may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis or rule out other causes of knee pain. Advanced or more complex tests are only indicated when there are clinical doubts or atypical symptoms.
What causes Osgood-Schlatter?
Osgood-Schlatter Disease is a condition that mainly affects children and adolescents during their growth period. It is important that parents and coaches be aware of the symptoms of this pathology and prevent the people under their care from carrying out activities that could aggravate the disease.
Below are the main causes of Osgood-Schlatter Disease:
- Rapid growth: During growth, bones can grow faster than muscles and tendons, which can cause stress at the attachment points.
- Sports that involve running or jumping repeatedly: Repetitive movements can cause strain on muscles and tendons, which can trigger the disease.
- Tendon that connects the tibia to the kneecap: Repeated traction of the patellar tendon on the tibial tuberosity can cause inflammation and pain.
- Injury to the growth cartilage: Any injury to the growth plate can increase the risk of developing the disease.
Differences between Osgood-Schlatter and other causes of knee pain in children
The pain generated by Osgood-Schlatter is localized in the anterior part of the tibia, without joint blockage or a feeling of instability, as occurs in meniscal or ligamentous injuries.
The pain arises with physical activity and improves with rest, which distinguishes it from more complex inflammatory processes. Recognizing these characteristics will help avoid misdiagnoses or unnecessary treatments.
How long does Osgood-Schlatter Disease last?
Although Osgood-Schlatter Disease symptoms can last for several years, most patients recover completely as the bones stop growing. The exact recovery time varies depending on the severity of the condition and the age of the patient, but generally takes several months to a couple of years.
It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations to minimize symptoms and avoid long-term complications.
Can Osgood-Schlatter disease leave lasting effects in adulthood?
Osgood-Schlatter disease does not leave functional sequelae once growth is complete, but a small bony prominence may persist on the tibia, which is usually painless.
Pain that may appear in adulthood is rare and is usually associated with lack of rest or poor adaptation to sports during adolescence. The prognosis is generally very favorable.
Can you play sports for Osgood-Schlatter Disease?
When a person has Osgood-Schlatter Disease, they may wonder if they can continue playing sports. Fortunately, in many cases, It is possible to continue being active, although some precautions should be taken to avoid making the condition worse..
One of the main recommendations for practicing sports if you suffer from this disease, is for the affected person to rest when they feel pain in the knee and avoid any activity that could worsen the symptoms. At the same time, It is important that you do adequate stretching before and after physical activity to maintain flexibility and prevent injuries.
Besides, It is suggested that the young athlete avoid impact exercises such as jumping or prolonged running, and instead choose low-impact sports such as swimming or cycling. In addition, use appropriate footwear and good technique when practicing sports It may also help prevent injuries and reduce the symptoms of Osgood-Schlatter Disease.
In any case, it is important that the affected person consult with their doctor before resuming any physical activity.
Treatment of Osgood-Schlatter Disease
With the right treatmentMost people with Osgood-Schlatter Disease can make a full recovery and remain active.. It is always important for the affected person to consult with a doctor to obtain personalized recommendations and an appropriate treatment plan.
Some Treatment options for Osgood-Schlatter Disease include:
- Rest the knee: It is important to rest the knee and avoid any activity that could worsen symptoms.
- Anti-inflammatories: Anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
- Physiotherapy: A physical therapist can help the affected person perform specific exercises to strengthen knee muscles and improve flexibility.
- Surgery: In severe and rare cases, surgery may be considered as a treatment option.
Recommended exercises for Osgood-Schlatter Disease
The recommended treatment for Osgood-Schlatter disease is based on specific exercises aimed at reducing tension in the patellar tendon. Performing quadriceps and hamstring stretches will help reduce traction on the tibia, along with progressive, low-impact strength training to work on muscle control.
Activities such as repeated jumping, intense running, or sudden changes of direction are prohibited, using physiotherapy as a guide to adapt the exercises to each phase of recovery and reduce the risk of relapses.
When to consult an Osgood-Schatter specialist
A specialist should be consulted when the pain is intense, persistent, or limits the child's daily activities. It should also be considered a warning sign if the swelling does not decrease with rest, if the pain occurs at rest or during the night, or if there are frequent relapses. Therefore, a proper medical evaluation will allow for adjusting the treatment, preventing complications, and ensuring a successful recovery.
In short, Osgood-Schlatter Disease is a common condition in active adolescent children, but with proper treatment its symptoms can be alleviated. At ICAC, the Advanced Spine Surgery Institute in Madrid, our team of traumatology and neurology specialists is trained to diagnose and treat the disease. If you present any symptoms related to the disease, do not hesitate to ask for a private appointment.

Hello, my son is 16 years old and has Osgood-Schönlein purpura, and I would like to know if it can be treated surgically or if it resolves on its own.
In adolescents, Osgood-Schlatter disease usually improves with growth and conservative treatment: relative rest, ice, stretching, strengthening, and pain management. Surgery is rarely indicated, only if persistent pain from bone fragments remains after growth has ceased.
I am a 61-year-old man. I have not exercised for more or less 30 years. I am overweight, 173 tall, 210 pounds. 3 years ago, I got it for the first time at this time on 01/18/2024. I can't walk because of the pain. I don't work. I went to bed well and woke up without being able to walk 3 days ago I only put ice on it

I'm Sergio Medina, I'm a soccer player and I'm 14 years old. I've had this for about 3 weeks. At first, I couldn't walk or jump or anything, it hurt horribly and now it still hurts but less, although it's true that I was stupid when I felt more or less well and started playing soccer, which I regretted the next day because it hurt worse. Help me.
Hello Sergio,
Thank you for your comment. Osgood-Schlatter disease is quite common in active teens like you, especially those who play intense sports like soccer. It's normal to experience pain at first, but it's essential to follow the recommendations to avoid worsening the condition. Even if you feel better, it's important not to overexert the area and give your body time to recover. We suggest you get adequate rest and follow the instructions of your healthcare professional, who can recommend an appropriate treatment plan, which may include physical therapy and adjustments to your physical activity. Remember that recovery is key, and it's not recommended to play or engage in intense sports until you have been cleared by a doctor.

Good night
My son suffers from Sgood's disease and it affects his right knee. He is only 13 years old and is 1.53 tall. He loves football ⚽ and that makes it impossible for him to run freely since he feels a lot of pain and the swollen part is very sensitive.
The doctor said that the pain will disappear as it grows.
But we don't know how long this discomfort will last.
Hello Wilmer,
It can take from months to years to disappear. Rehabilitation and physiotherapy will help strengthen muscles and improve pain.

Hello, my 12 year old son was also diagnosed with this disease more than a month and a half ago. The doctor told him to rest completely without doing any activity. He gave him ibuprofen and had him do pain therapy, that is, they put running water on both knees and then heat. He also plays soccer and although the pain started in the right one, when he ordered x-rays on both knees he realized that the disease had already set in on both knees and had a fracture in his left knee. After 40 days of inactivity he started training again but only two days a week and only played half-time in games. However, he should start to get to know his body. If he has any pain, stop. I am putting kinesio on both knees and he uses knee pads for the patella, which he should always use for training and games.
Hello, I have had surgery twice to remove the lump on my left knee, which is the supporting knee due to Osgood Schlatter syndrome, and in the first operation it became inflamed and the inflammation did not reduce and the same thing is happening to me with the second operation. I have had it and the truth is it hurts and bothers me especially when it is time to rest and the only way I can sleep is by taking Tramadol.

I'm in the same boat as you, although I only had surgery once, but sometimes the internal pain when I'm resting is unbearable… Now, since I'm overweight, they blame everything on the weight gain, when I've had this problem since I was a teenager… I hope they find a solution for you and you get better! The solution they gave me was to lose weight (obviously, I didn't go back to those specialists…) Good luck!
Hello, I am a 16-year-old teenager affected by Osgood-Shooter disease of the knee. I have been suffering from severe knee pain for 8 months. I went for a consultation and received an exemption from all sports for 3 months. This exemption is ending and my knee pain is only increasing. I don't know what to do to stop this pain. I'm not willing to do anything to get there. I don't know if using a cast or splint is an option. Thanks for your reply.

Hello everyone, good evening, my daughter Aitana has Osgood's disease. We realized just three years ago that she plays soccer. She is in women's futsal. She is federated and the truth is that the pain is subsiding over time. At first, it hurt a lot more. Since he's been doing sports, he's also been stretching.
He takes his anti-inflammatory from time to time that I give him and it is liquid ibuprofen and it seems that lately it bothers him less. He is 12 years old. Yes, he has the lumps on both knees but he complains from time to time. I understand that over time they will disappear. But it is logical that soccer is her passion and we try to cope with it as best as possible. I say it for this mother who says that soccer is her son's passion. Sport is the best for them. Yes, it is true that they have to rest and stretch. legs well before training or playing and then his ibuprofen to relieve possible pain but play and enjoy. Thank you
Hello Juan Carlos,
One of the main recommendations for practicing sports if you suffer from this disease is that the affected person rest when they feel pain in the knee and avoid any activity that could worsen the symptoms.
Ibuprofen is a medication that should not be taken regularly as it can cause side effects (such as kidney damage). We recommend that you try to avoid activities that worsen the pain and use medications as little as possible given the patient's age.

Good evening, my son was diagnosed with this disease. He has had it for more than a year. He is already undergoing treatment. My question is whether the lumps he has on his knees will go away or will he always have them? Now they have decreased.

Hello Charlene,
Merci pour votre temoignage. If you have antecedents with the Osgood-Schlatter syndrome and current symptoms, it is preferable to consult a specialist in traumatology or sports medicine. Un examination d'imagerie plus approfondi (comme une IRM) pourrait aider à évaluer l'état currentuel de l'articulation. In attendant, it is important to avoid surcharges répétées sur le genou and to envisager une rééducation personnalisée to maintenir la mobilité sans aggraver le problème.

Hello Makan,
It is important that you consult a doctor that is possible for a complete evaluation. The protuberance and the persistent douleur pourraient être des symptômes d'une condition sous-jacente nécessitant un treatment, like a kyste, a tumeur bénigne ou un problème lié aux tissus mous ou aux os. Un examination physique et éventuellement des examinations d'imagerie, tels qu'une radiographie ou une IRM, seront nécessaires pour déterminer la cause exacte et le traitement approprié. Ne paissez pas passer plus de temps sans consulter un médecin.

Good afternoon
I am Jhon Vargas, I am 20 years old and I have had Osgood's disease since I was very young. When I was 16, the doctor told me to rest for 3 months, that I couldn't do any kind of exercise, or stand for long periods of time, etc.
And now I made an appointment and the doctor told me that I have that disease and he told me that I had to strengthen my knees, and I asked him if I could lift weights, etc. And he told me that yes, there was no problem. My question is, can I lift weights?
Hello, John.
With Osgood-Schlatter disease, once the acute phase has passed and you are not in significant pain, it is generally safe to lift weights and strengthen your knees, as long as you do so gradually and with good technique. However, it is crucial to follow your doctor's recommendations and listen to your body; if you are in pain, it is important to adjust the intensity of the exercise or stop.
Greetings
Hello, I have this disease and my doctor said that after a month of rest, if it doesn't resolve, they will have to put a cast on me.
Is there another solution?
Hello Veronica,
Treatment for Osgood-Schlatter disease typically includes rest, ice, and physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the knee. In more persistent cases, immobilization with a cast can help reduce inflammation. Before opting for a cast, you may want to consult with a specialized physical therapist or seek a second medical opinion to explore other options or changes to your rehabilitation plan.

Hello, I'm Angela from Mexico. The truth is I don't know if this is my illness, or only in my knees, but I'm 19 years old and I started having pain when I was 16, as well as in other joints. For a while, they did tests on me but they didn't find anything. Also, because of the cost, I stopped going. Any recommendations on what it could be? Please, my pain is very intense, especially in my knees, and it cracks when I move them.
Hello Angela,
We're sorry you've been experiencing pain for so long. Although Osgood-Schlatter syndrome usually appears in adolescence and primarily affects the knees, when pain is present in multiple joints and tests show no clear abnormalities, it's important to consider other possible causes, such as rheumatic or musculoskeletal disorders.
We understand that accessing medical care can be difficult, but if the pain persists and interferes with your activities, we recommend seeking further medical evaluation whenever possible. A detailed physical examination and additional testing can better guide the diagnosis and help you find appropriate treatment.
Greetings.
Bonjour, j'ai 14 ans et demi et depuis quelques moi j'ai une forte douleur au genou gauche. Je fais du basket depuis quelques mois et ajourd'hui, en fesant ce sport avec un ami attention de la maladie d'Osgood-Schlatter. Cet ami m'a advice d'aller voir un médecin, car celà concorde. Est-ce possible que j'en soit atteinte?
Hello Lou,
Merci pour ton message. La douleur au genou que tu décris, surtout si elle est localisée juste en dessous de la label et s'intensifie pendant ou après le sport, pourrait être liée à la maladie d'Osgood-Schlatter, en particulier à ton âge et en pratiquant un sport comme le basket, qui solicite beaucoup les genoux.
This is a frequent affection for adolescents who sport and lie at the croissance. The best advice is just on cell phone that you are given to me: consult a doctor, who can provide you with a precise diagnosis after a clinical examination and, if necessary, follow-up examinations. In attendant, essaie d'éviter les activités qui aggravent la douleur.
Good courage and greetings.
Bonjour je suis a taekwondo athlete and a football player. En lisant votre page j'ai remarqué d'avoir les memes symptômes que cette maladie mais je ne sait pas si je l ai. Parfois en faisant des activités sportives, la douleur me limite ou même quand quelque chose me touche j ai une douleur atroce pouvant memeblocker mon genou. Je voulais vous demander que puis-je faire pour guerir cette maladie.
Sincerely, Adry

Hello! I'm 58 years old, and when I was 15, I was doing high jumps when it appeared. I had a full leg cast for a month, and when I took it off, it remained swollen. I still have that bone sticking out under my knee, and it still hurts... I don't think there's a cure for this condition! What are the risks of surgery? I can't kneel because the bone is still there, and it hurts! Thank you!
Hello Maria,
In these cases, it's essential that a trauma specialist assess your situation in detail, as the risks and benefits of surgery depend on your medical history, the current condition of the joint, and possible treatment options.
We recommend that you undergo a further medical evaluation to explore the options that best suit you. If you wish, you can schedule a consultation with our team so we can thoroughly assess your case and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Hello, at 26 years old I was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter, they say I have had it since I was little until now I found out, I went to the doctor for a pain that started when running and created a bony lump just below my knee, they did an x-ray and they detected that it was the disease, but it has been almost two months and it still hurts, it has even worse, I don't know if my job has anything to do with it, I work 8 hours standing and maybe it creates an overload, I feel pain like a tired knee and I don't know what to do, the lump decreased but the pain grew, the doctor's didn't give it much importance, but it hurts and I don't know what to do with this situation, I can't afford to stop working. What recommendation would you give me?
Hi Sara,
We're sorry you're experiencing pain. In cases like the one you mentioned, where the pain has worsened and is affecting your daily activities, it would be important for you to return to a medical appointment so they can reevaluate the injury and rule out possible complications. Tell the specialist about your current symptoms and your type of work. The number of hours you spend on your feet is important for adjusting your treatment and offering more specific recommendations.
If you wish, you can schedule an appointment with our team so we can assess your case in detail and guide you through the most appropriate treatment options.

Hello, my daughter was just diagnosed with this condition. She's 10 years old and plays soccer. I already took her to a pediatric orthopedist, who put a cast on her foot, which she'll be wearing for three weeks. My question is, is this treatment correct? She's also taking ibuprofen for seven days.
Hello, thank you for sharing your daughter's case.
Osgood-Schlatter disease is relatively common in children who play sports like soccer, especially during growth spurts. Treatment can vary depending on the severity of the pain and inflammation.
In some cases, rest, ice, and anti-inflammatories are indicated; and in others, when the pain is more intense, temporary immobilization, such as a plaster cast, can be used to give the area a rest and promote recovery.
In other words, the treatment they have prescribed may be appropriate according to the orthopedist's assessment.
The important thing will be, once the cast is removed, to do a gentle and progressive rehabilitation, to regain strength and avoid relapses when returning to sport.
If you wish, you can request a personalized assessment with our team to support the recovery process and guide your safe return to football:

Sending lots of encouragement to her and to you all.
It will surely evolve little by little.
Bonjour, j'ai mon fils de 10 ans qui a la maladie et les médecins ne veulent pas le plâtrer et il souffre énormément, que dois-je faire
Bonjour Regis, si votre fils souffre beaucoup, une réévaluation rapide s'impose: le platre n'est pas toujours indiqué selon le diagnosis. Demandez un avis d'orthopédie pédiatrique et un treatmentement antalgique adaptedé. Urgences si douleur incontrôlable, fièvre, engourdissement ou faiblesse.
bonjour .Mon fils de 15 y a des douleurs juste audesous des jénoux et des petits gonflements sensible il ya un an.Le médecin m'a dit que c'est à cause de la croissance rapide.Mais l'enfant reclame toujours de ces sensations doulouleuses lorqu'il s'assoit sur génoux.Que doit je faire?
Bonjour Sylvie, chez un adolescent, une douleur sous les genoux avec petite bosse sensitive évoque souvent une maladie d'Osgood-Schlatter liée à la croissance. If it lasts after an year, a pediatric orthopedic/kinésithérapie notice is recommended to adapt the activites and soulager permanently.
