The causes are unclear but are probably caused by overuse. The condition primarily affects boys between 10 and 15 years but can happen with girls.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere seems to be some evidence that growth spurts can put the patella tendon under stress due to uneven growth between the tendon and the leg bones. The separation is not usually complete but partial. This will however result in some inflammation, pain and soreness.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSYMPTOMS are pain at the attachment of the patellar tendon to the shine bone after exertion. Some swelling and tenderness at the tendon attachment may be evident. With severe cases an x-ray may reveal fragmentation of the shin bone.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTREATMENT requires rest; the application of local heat and a heat retainer. Movements that trigger pain or discomfort should be avoided. In severe cases a doctor may recommend a plaster cast.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOsgood-Schlatters disease heals spontaneously but can recur with overloading exercise during adolescence but will seldom occur after the leg is fully developed at 17 to 18 years of age.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoaches should always respond to young athletes with knee pain and explain to parents and carers the possibility of Osgood-Schlatters and what the causes can be and how treatment can be applied. Severe conditions should be referred to a GP. Advice on pain killers for adolescents should always be sought.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is always essential that the young athlete knows that it is most likely related to some overuse and leg growth spurts BUT that it will go away in time and that normal training and competition can continue. Also, that some of the finest athletes will have suffered Osgood-Schlatters disease during their teen years.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe condition can be frustrating for young athletes as it tends to come and go over a period of months and sometimes a few years. Advice should always be sought in terms of leg strengthening exercises. Knee bending under loading should be avoided but isometric straight leg work can help to strengthen quads and calf muscles.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\u0022box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, \u0026quot;Helvetica Neue\u0026quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\u0022\u003e\u003cimg src=\u0022https://www.myclubhouse.co.uk/SLH/Client/Images/Cms/Screenshot%202019-07-05%20at%2016.37.27.png\u0022 data-image=\u00221\u0022 style=\u0022box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%;\u0022\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e","CreationTime":"Friday, 5 July 2019 16:51","IsEdited":false,"EditTime":null,"InReplyTo":{"ID":null,"Name":null,"CompanyName":null,"HasEmail":false},"IsDeleted":false,"DeleteReason":null,"DeletedBy":{"ID":null,"Name":null,"CompanyName":null,"HasEmail":false},"LikeCount":0,"LikesDescription":"","Likes":[],"LikedByMe":false,"HasBeenRead":false,"Replies":[],"CanEdit":false,"CanModerate":false,"CanReply":false,"CanMessageMe":false}],"CanPostReplies":false,"CanModerate":false,"CanEdit":false,"CanAdmin":false,"FindReplyID":null}
