Clinincal and radiological findings were analysed in 63 patiets with Osgood-schlatter Disease diagnosed atNational Police Hospital during the period from Jan. 1975 to 1981. The results were obtained as follows; 1. Thedisease was most common between 16 and 20 years, being 39 cases in a total of 63 cases. 2. The ratio of male andfemale was 31:1. 3. Involvement was more often unilateral (45 cases ) than bilateral (18 cases), and the left side(29 cases) was more common than the right side (16 cases). 4. Roentgenogram revealed one or two separated bonyfragments in most cases. 5. Type II by Woolfry and Chandler classification was most common type. 6. The mostcommon clinical findings were pain and tenderness on tibial tuberosity. 7. Trauma history was positive in 11 casesin a total of 63 cases.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to assess the sonographic findings of Osgood-Schlatter disease with correlation to radiographic findings and to determine value of sonography in the diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The population consist of 22 cases of Osgood-Schlatter disease and 15 healthy subjects of the same age range for comparison. The sonographic study was carried out with real time units equipped with linear probe of 7 MHz frequency. Radiography and sonography were done in all cases and follow-up sonography was performed in 10 cases. RESULTS: The sonographic features of the Osgood-Schlatter disease were swelling of cartilage over the anterior tibial tuberosity ossification center in 16 cases, fragmentation and/or irregularities of the ossification center of the anterior tibial tuberosity in 14 cases, localized thickening of the pateliar tendon in 14 cases, ossicles in the thickened pateliar tendon in 3 cases, and distension of the infrapatellar bursa in 2 cases. Fifteen of 22 cases of Osgood-Schlatter disease had abnormal findings on radiographs and sonograms. Out of 7 cases which had normal radiograph and abnormal findings on sonogram, 6 cases showed pateliar tendon thickening, cartilage swelling, and/or distended infrapatellar bursa and one case showed fragmentation of anterior tibial tuberosity on sonogram. CONCLUSION: Sonographic evaluation of Osgood-Schlatter disease provided a clear picture about pathologic changes in the superficial soft tissues and in the cartilage and also yielded the same diagnostic information on bony change as radiography Sonography is a reliable and useful method for the evaluation of young patients with clinically suspected Osgood-Schlatter disease.

Journal of Korean Foot and Ankle Society 2005;9(2):204-208
Kohler's disease is an uncommon idiopathic osteochondrosis of the tarsal navicular. The diagnosis is clinical and the natural history is benign. The treatment is symptomatic, including shoe supports when the symptoms are mild and initial cast immobilization for at least 8 weeks when the symptoms are more intensive. The final clinical outcome is always favorable. Although it has been fully described both clinically and radiologically, There have been a few long-term follow-up reports in worldwide. This case report presents a Kohler's disease of the tarsal navicular with long-term follow-up of 12 years.

PURPOSE: We retrospectively classified the young adult Osgood-Schlatter disease by plain radiography and accessed the relationship between bone scan results and symptom duration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2004 to 2007, young adults with symptoms of Osgood-Schlatter disease were included in the study. The patients were classified into 3 groups, protrusion, cleft and ossicle, according to their radiographic results. All patients had bone scan exams, we analyzed the correlation between the bone scan results and the duration of symptoms. RESULTS: All patients were male with average age of 19.8 (18.5~22.0) years old. Out of 59 patients, 27 were bilateral. Of 86 knee joints, 36 came out positive with bone scan. Positive bone scan rate was 11.1% in protrusion type, 40.0% in cleft type and 61.4% in ossicle type. The pain persisted longer in ossicle type than the others. The symptom duration correlated with the bone scan results. CONCLUSION: We classified young adult Osgood Schlatter disease as three types. The ossicle type of Osgood-Schlatter disease has longer symptom duration, which correlates with the bone scan results. The bone scan result can be one of reliable reference factors for the treatment of young adult Osgood-Schlatter disease.

Paraarticular chondroma of the knee is a very rare benign tumor that seems to develop from cartilageous metaplasia. This lesion should be differentiated from calcifying soft tissue lesions like tumoral calcinosis, and cartilageous lesions like chondrosarcoma and synovial chondromatosis. We experienced a case of paraarticular chondroma of the knee in an Osgood-Schlatter disease patient.

Freiberg disease is a osteochondrosis of the lesser metatarsal heads. Various surgical treatment have been recommanded including joint debridement and metatarsal head reshaping, metatarsal dorsal wedge osteotomy, metatarsal head excision and joint arthroplasty. Autogenous osteochondral graft for the treatment of Freiberg disease is an effective restorative procedure that provides early range of motion exercise, weight bearing, and reduces other morbidity. We report a case of late stage Freiberg disease treated with arthrotomy, removal of loose body and autogenous osteochondral graft.

10.Freiberg's Disease and Metatarsophalangeal Joint Instability.
Kiwon YOUNG ; Jinsu KIM ; Joowon JOH
Journal of Korean Foot and Ankle Society 2013;17(1):11-16
Freiberg's disease is a osteochondrosis of a metatarsal head that is recognized as primarily a disorder of the second metatarsal. It is seen more often in girls. Pain and limitation of motion of the affected joint is the predominant clincal feature. The radiographic appearance demonstrates from osteosclerosis in the early stage to osteolysis with collapse in the later stage. Conservative therapy may take the form of rest, a stiff shoe, and even a cast support to decrease the stress across the joint. Surgical intervention may also be of benefit. Surgery have been attempted either to modify the diseae process or to salvage the situation once the metatarsophalangeal joint develops degenerative changes. Metatarsophalangeal joint instability is common cause of forefoot pain that can develop in association with a traumatic episode and inflamatory tissue disorders as well as neighboring toe deformities. The second ray is by far the most frequently involved. The diagnosis can be made by clinical observation and physical examination including drawer test. Many surgical procedures have beem recommended when conservative treatment has failed. Procedures described range from soft tissue releases and tendon trasfer to the direct plantar plate repair combined with a Weil osteotomy.
