Despite being so common, what do we actually know about OSD and what can we tell adolescents and their parents based on current available evidence? Osgood Schlatter is considered an apophysitis of the tibial tuberosity, and affects up to 1 in 10 adolescents aged 9–15- particularly athletes. The apophysis is the point of attachment of the patellar tendon onto the bone and may be vulnerable to high stress before maturation. Osgood Schlatter is characterised by localised pain and swelling at the tibial tuberosity. This injury has a negative effect on adolescent’s ability to participate in sports and is associated with decreased lower limb strength and power, poor function and low quality of life and pain.1 2 Osgood Schlatter was originally thought to be a result of repetitive loading causing traction of the patellar tendon at its’ insertion on the tibial tuberosity. Since being first described over 100 years ago, there have …

将神话与事实区分开来：是时候重新审视奥斯古德·施拉特的“疾病”了

奥斯古德·施拉特“疾病”(OSD) 是大多数人都听说过的疾病，也是精英青少年运动员的父母所担心的。尽管如此普遍，但我们对 OSD 究竟了解多少？根据现有证据，我们可以告诉青少年及其父母什么？Osgood Schlatter 被认为是胫骨结节的骨突炎，并且影响多达十分之一的 9-15 岁青少年，尤其是运动员。骨突是髌腱与骨骼的连接点，在成熟前可能容易受到高压力的影响。Osgood Schlatter 的特点是胫骨结节局部疼痛和肿胀。这种损伤对青少年参与运动的能力有负面影响，并与下肢力量和力量下降、功能差、生活质量低下和疼痛有关。1 2 Osgood Schlatter 最初被认为是重复加载导致髌腱在胫骨结节插入处受到牵引的结果。自从 100 多年前首次被描述以来，...
