About Osgood-Schlatter Disease. Osgood-Schlatter disease is an inflammation of the bone, cartilage, and/or tendon at the top of the shinbone (tibia), where the tendon from the kneecap (patella) attaches. Most often only one knee is affected.
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.
