Sever's disease, also known as calcaneus apophysitis, is an inflammation at the back of the heel (or calcaneus) growth plate in growing children. The condition is ...
Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome, [1] named after Swedish surgeon Sven Christian Johansson (1880-1959), [2] and Christian Magnus Falsen Sinding-Larsen (1866-1930), [3] a Norwegian physician, is apophysitis of the inferior pole of the patella. It is analogous to Osgood–Schlatter disease which involves the upper margin of the tibia. This ...
However, currently, it is widely accepted that Osgood–Schlatter disease is a traction apophysitis of the proximal tibial tubercle at the insertion of the patellar tendon caused by repetitive micro-trauma. In other words, Osgood–Schlatter disease is an overuse injury and closely related to the physical activity of the child.
Apophysitis, inflammation of the bony attachment, generally associated with overuse among growing children. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Tendinopathy is a disorder of the tendon, and is associated with direct injury or repetitive activities.
Apophysitis is an inflammation of a tubercle. It mainly affects growing children, with overuse of the affected tubercle. [8] [9] [10] Examples include: Osgood–Schlatter disease (apophysitis of the tibial tubercle) [8] Sever's disease (apophysitis of the posterior tubercle of the heel) [9] [10]
Little League elbow, technically termed medial epicondyle apophysitis, is a condition that is caused by repetitive overhand throwing motions in children."Little Leaguer's elbow" was coined by Brogdon and Crow in an eponymous 1960 article in the American Journal of Radiology.
A pre-operative image of a 22-year-old male with a very extreme case of Scheuermann's disease. Scheuermann's disease is a skeletal disorder. [3] It describes a condition where the vertebrae grow unevenly with respect to the sagittal plane; that is, the posterior angle is often greater than the anterior.
Tenderness in the tibial tuberosity can arise from Osgood-Schlatter disease or deep infrapatellar bursitis.A bony prominence on the tibial tuberosity can be the result of ongoing Osgood-Schlatter’s irritation in an adolescent with open growth plates, or what remains of Osgood-Schlatter’s in adults.
