Summary:In 15 cases of Osgood-Schlatter's disease, namely total of 18 knees, the excision of bone fragments and plasty of tibial tuberosity were carried out and the results of the these operations were studied. Pain in 16 out of 18 knees (89%) was gone permanently, and the remaining two knees (11%) had signs of slight pain with exercising. All cases returned to sports in early stage. An average period of starting sports after operation was 1.6 monthes. When the isolated fragment is recognized and simptoms continue with conservative treatment, and if they wish to resume sports activity again, an operative treatment is recommended.
