Good news: Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is far less frightful than its name. Though it's one of the most common causes of knee pain in adolescents, it's really not a disease, but an overuse injury. OSD can be quite painful, but usually resolves itself within 12 to 24 months.
What is the cause of Osgood-Schlatter Disease? Osgood-Schlatter Disease is a condition resulting from traction of the patellar tendon (tendon that attaches the knee cap to the shin bone) upon one of the tibias (shin bone) minor growth plates located beneath the knee cap. Growth plates are cartilaginous, and therefore, more subject to irritation than that of bone.
