Abstract:
Of 35 patients with 38 knees treated using simple excision method for Osgood-Schlatter lesion, had a distinct and separate ossicle at the tibial tubercle. All ossicles were attached to the distal part of the undersurface of the ligamentum patellae and were separated from the tuberosity by a bursa or scar tissue. Surgical excision of ossicle along with adjacent bursa was satisfactory and simplest procedure to relieve the symptoms, did not respond to conservative treatment.
