Accepted Answer

Osgood-Schlatter: There's not a whole lot to do. These are essentially growing pains (AKA apophysitis). Helpful link: http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00411

Question 2

osgood schlatters disease?

Accepted Answer

Osgood Schlatter: Osgood-schlatter is a condition involving a portion of the tibial growth plate at the insertion of the patellar tendon. It is associated with tight quadriceps (especially the rectus femoris). There can be a painful fragmentation that occurs at this area. The best treatment is stretching, nsaids and rice. It resolves when the growth plates close.

Question 3

is osgood schlatters heriditary?

Accepted Answer

No: Current literature and orthopedic studies do not establish a hereditary component to osgood-schlatter's.  At the same time, there have been very little recent studies on the topic.

Question 4

what is osgood schlatters disease?

Accepted Answer

See below: Osgood–schlatter disease or syndrome (also known as tibial tubercle apophyseal traction injury and epiphysitis of the tibular tubercle) is an irritation of the patellar ligament at the tibial tuberosity. It is characterized by painful lumps just below the knee and is most often seen in young adolescents.

Question 5

how long does osgood schlatters last?

Accepted Answer

Till bone maturity: Which happen usually between the age of 14-16.

Question 6

how can i exercise with osgood schlatters disease?

Accepted Answer

Rest needed to heal: After growth plates close in adolescence, this condition will heal spontaneously.Most patients if treated conservatively with rest and nsaids will be pain-free within 12 months. This is a self-limiting condition but can last years if not treated appropriately.Some adults who had severe disease in adolescence will continue to have some knee pain (usually with kneeling) many years into adulthood.

Question 7

how long will it take to heal from osgood schlatters?

Accepted Answer

Recovery time varies: The most common treatments for osgood-schlatters include rest/ activity modification, ice, compression, anti-inflammatories, massage & therapeutic stretching that focuses on the muscles of the upper leg (hamstrings & quads). 

Individuals w/ osgood schlatter may partipate in activity to limits of pain tolerance w/o concern.

Question 8

my osgood schlatters disease came back, what can i do?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist.: If you had osgood schlatter's when you were younger, this is probably something a little different. You may have patellar tendinitis, or calcifications may have developed in that area. See an orthopedic knee specialist, who can give you an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Question 9

how long does osgood schlatters disease last and what is it?

Accepted Answer

Patience : Osgood schlatter's disease is a bone problem that occurs in burgeoning adolescence. It is benign in most cases. Anti inflammatories & rest are all  that is usually needed to deal with it. Occasionally it's gets severe enough to merit casting. After growth is over the problem settles down.  This is particularly common in male athletes.

Question 10

can someone tell me how long will osgood schlatters take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Comes and goes: Generally occurring during adolescence, when growth is done, the area at the tibial tubercle will most often fuse with the rest of the tibia.  At times, there may be fragmentation of the "bump" and it can become recurrently painful, and at times can benefit from having the loose fragment taken out.
