Figure 6-118 <bold>OSGOOD-SCHLATTER DISEASE. T2*-Weighted MRI, Sagittal Knee.</bold> Note the fragmentation of the tibial tubercle with adjacent high signal intensity edema at the patellar tendon insertion (<italic>arrows</bold>). In addition, cephalad migration of the patella is noted (patella alta). These findings are consistent with chronic but active Osgood-Schlatter disease.
