This is especially prevalent among athletic boys and girls that participate in activities or youth sports that involve running, jumping, and bending, such as track, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and ballet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Osgood Schlatter Disease?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring a growth spurt, a child's thigh muscles (quadriceps) pull on the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the growth plate at the top part of the shinbone (tibia). This repeated tension and irritation can cause the tendon to pull away from the shinbone, resulting in pain, swelling, inflammation, and occasionally the formation of a bony lump under the patella. When this occurs, it is known as Osgood Schlatter disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/7958\/2517\/files\/what-is-osgood-schlatter-disease_52d36f03-8f1f-4ea7-9b16-170620f4e6be.jpg?v=1600875800\u0026amp;width=700\" alt=\"Osgood schlatter disease occurs when muscles are growing too fast and the patellar tendon stretches the growth plate below the kneecap causing a bump\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMost Common Osgood Schlatter Disease Symptoms:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnee or leg pain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwelling, tenderness, or increased warmth below the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePain that worsens with exercise or high-impact activities, like running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimping after physical activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe severity of these symptoms often varies from child to child. Some kids experience only mild pain during certain activities that eases with rest. Others experience constant, severe, and debilitating pain that makes it difficult to do any physical activity. The condition usually occurs in just one knee, but it can affect both knees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Long Does Osgood Schlatters Last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften referred to as the growing pains of the knees, pain associated with Osgood Schlatter disease typically goes away once the adolescent stops growing. Without treatment, some kids are left with a permanent bump below their kneecap. In rare circumstances, adults may continue to experience painful Osgood Schlatter symptoms caused by residual bone fragments around the patellar tendon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeed a larger size?
