Osgood-Schlatter Disease (Tibial Apophysitis)

FIG. 12.5. Osgood-Schlatter disease. Radiographs are usually normal, but mild irregularities of the tibial tubercle (arrow) are often present.

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.
