Case Discussion
Features consistent with Osgood-Schlatter disease. It is a traction apophysitis occurring at the tibial tuberosity because of the pull of the quadriceps muscle group via the patella tendon. It is often seen during rapid growth (8-13 in girls and 12-15 In boys) and is more common in active teenagers.
