Osgood Schlatter Disease
Osgood-Schlatter disease refers to a condition of an overuse injury that occurs in the knee region of growing children and adolescents.

Children and adolescents who participate in sports such as soccer, gymnastics, basketball and distance running are at higher risk of this disease.
