What to expect before and after surgery for osgood schlatters? how long is recovery & will i be on crutches after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4-8 wks: Removing the 'bump' below your knee if it continues to be painful@ age17 will require you to be on crutches for a period of time after surgery.If your ors is able to " shell out " the bone out of your patellar tendon( ossicle) or has to'chisel out' or osteotomize the prominent tubercle ( or both) will determine how long.Best of luck!
