Osgood-Schlatterdisease is inflammation of the bone and cartilage at the top of the tibia or shin bone.

The small angle in Osgood-Schlatterdisease is proposed to be an important factor in the pathogenesis of the traction apophysitis.

(Teddy himself said later that he'd thought it was Osgood-Schlatterdisease, a common affliction to fast-growing young knees that several of his classmates had experienced.)
1
Only in limited cases, an additional tibialtuberosity transfer is needed.
2
Operative treatment was thought necessary for all our cases due to tibialtuberosity displacement.
3
Avulsion of the tibialtuberosity is a rarely reported fracture.
4
In two cases, an additional tibialtuberosity transfer was performed, due to insufficient per-operative correction.
5
Surgical treatment of habitual patella dislocation with medialisation of the tibialtuberosity led to an excellent clinical outcome.
