Osgood-Schlatter Disease

[Bartek Pachota]

Osgood-Schlatter (OS) disease is one of the most common causes of knee pain in the adolescent. Consisting of pain and edema of the tibial tubercle (and hence this is an extra-articular disease), OS disease is generally a benign, self-limited knee condition associated with traction apophysitis in adolescent boys and girls.

I have it and the doctor told me not to ride for half a year &|

[Miles Quirk]

my nieghbor has it. he snowboards, and comes over and does like 180's n shit

Hmm I was told that it sometimes happens to kids from 10 to 15 years old, and its not caused by anything, like genetic caused or something. Its like he doesnt have a piece of a bone some where in he's knee and he has to wait for it to grow. It might happen even in like 2 months and he will be back riding.

Its not like a stand alone bone, lol its like a bump which has to grow on the bone below the knee (sorry, I suck terribly at medical vocabulary, haha), and then make it support the knee. Everyone has it, but the disease made it somehow disappear (die out?) so it has to grow back.

 

[vash763]

and it gets really big, ya below the knee cap

thats not true at all no doctor would say that. o.s. is a simple disease adolescents get if its in their genes. it hurts like a bitch when u hit it, but what would not riding do? its not like its gonna go away in a couple weeks ive had it for a good 3 years.
