Osgood-Schlatter disease most often occurs during growth spurts, when bones, muscles, tendons, and other structures are changing rapidly.
It gives attachment to the patellar ligament or patellar tendon. The Osgood-Schlatter disease is localized at the tibial tubercle at the anterior side of the knee, but only in an adoslecent knee. At this tibial tubercle the pain can be felt by the patient, in most of the times unilateral, but more frequently also bilaterally. The patellar tendon attaches to the tibial tuberosity inferior to the patella.
