About
At Sydney CBD, we have a special interest in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and lower leg problems.
Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease is a common cause of knee pain in growing adolescents, as a result of inflammation of the patella ligament at the tibial tuberosity (small bump just below the centre of the knee). The underlying mechanism is tension on the growth plate of the upper tibia (leg bone) which is repeatedly put under stress during sports involving running and jumping. Therefore, the condition is characterised with pain during activity which improves with rest, in one or both knees.
