Knee Conditions

Osgood-Schlatter Disease

 

  

This is a type of injury that causes knee pain in children. It’s an inflammation of a growth plate in the tibia. Growth plates are places where new bone tissue forms. They are found in the long bones of growing children. But growth plates are weaker than the surrounding bone. That makes them easier to injure.
