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 ...
Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome, [16] is an analogous condition involving the patellar tendon and the lower margin of the patella bone, instead of the upper margin of the tibia. Sever's disease is an analogous condition affecting the Achilles tendon attachment to the heel. [citation needed]
The diagnosis of patellofemoral pain syndrome is made by ruling out patellar tendinitis, prepatellar bursitis, plica syndrome, Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome, and Osgood–Schlatter disease. [23] Currently, there is not a gold standard assessment to diagnose PFPS. [20]
Genetic analysis of patients with Larsen syndrome has found the syndrome is caused by missense mutations in the gene that codes for filamin B. These mutations cause an accelerated rate of apoptosis in the epiphyseal growth plates of individuals with the mutation. The defects can cause short stature and other symptoms associated with Larsen ...
Non-articular: This group includes Sever's disease (of the calcaneus, or heel), and other conditions not completely characteristic of the osteochondroses, such as Osgood-Schlatter's disease (of the tibial tubercle) [10] and Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome (proximal patellar tendon).
