“…The gender distribution may be influenced by sport and sports practice habits among boys and girls. 9 44 Osgood-Schlatter disease Osgood-Schlatter disease leads to the appearance of CA according to the study of Watanabe et al 34 The causes associated with this disease are similar to the AFs described in this systematic review: age of onset, joint limitation, muscle imbalance, pronated feet and microtrauma, among others. In addition, a high level of sports specialisation and overtraining contribute to its appearance.…”

ObjectivesThe aim of this review was to identify the potential intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors (RFs), associated factors (AFs) and consequences of developing calcaneal apophysitis (CA).DesignSystematic review.Data sourcesCochrane Library, Embase, Medline Ovid, PubMed, Web of Science and Evidence, searched from inception to April 2021.Eligibility criteriaWe included cohort, case–control and cross-sectional studies that were conducted in patients younger than 18 years who were exposed to RFs or who presented with factors associated with developing CA. Studies in languages other than English or Spanish were excluded.Data extraction and synthesisTwo reviewers worked independently to evaluate the risk of bias of included studies. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (adapted version) was used.ResultsA total of 736 studies were identified and 11 observational studies fully met the inclusion criteria, including 1265 participants with a mean age of 10.72 years. Four studies identified extrinsic factors, 10 identified intrinsic factors and three identified both. The extrinsic and intrinsic RFs, AFs and consequences of CA include limitation of ankle dorsiflexion, foot alignment, stiffness and mobility of the midfoot, plantar pressures and ground reaction force, body mass index, age, gender, presence of other osteochondroses and practice of sport. The risk of bias varied, being either moderate or low.ConclusionsRegarding the factors and consequences associated with CA (Sever’s disease), ankle dorsiflexion limitation is the most frequent intrinsic factor studied, followed by peak plantar pressures and foot malalignment. However, disagreements between the investigators of the included studies were found; in some cases, there is a lack of unanimity between different studies as to which factors are considered to be RFs, AFs and consequences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021246366.

“…We found fewer studies regarding Sever's disease, but they showed minor risk of bias. Additionally, as presented in our methods, we had limited access to six potentially relevant studies, 19,[45][46][47][48][49] which were therefore excluded. The third limitation concerns the limited follow-up duration in most of the studies, which were too short to assess the long-term consequences.…”

Long‐term outcome of conservatively treated lower limb apophyseal injuries in children and adolescents: A systematic review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Apophyseal injuries are generally believed to run a self‐limiting course, suggesting conservative treatment is indicated. We summarized the long‐term consequences of lower limb apophyseal injuries after conservative treatment. We conducted a systematic review using the Cochrane methodology, and reported findings according to PRISMA. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL, PEDro, and SPORTDiscus were searched. Studies had to include participants aged 8‐18 years old, with a clinical diagnosis of apophyseal injury in the lower limb, more specifically Sever's disease, Osgood‐Schlatter disease, or Sinding‐Larsen‐Johansson disease, non‐surgically treated, with a minimum follow‐up time of 1 year, and with at least one of the following outcome measures: pain, secondary structural changes, functional outcome, participation in sports, and recurrent or subsequent injury. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020146412. Twelve studies on Osgood‐Schlatter disease, three studies on Sever's disease, and no studies on Sinding‐Larsen‐Johansson disease met inclusion criteria. Results of studies varied widely. Important limitations were heterogeneity between studies and lack of high‐quality research studies. Apophyseal injuries do not always appear to be self‐limiting, with some patients experiencing pain, secondary structural changes, a worse functional outcome, and difficulty resuming sports after more than 1 year of follow‐up.

“…Engagement in high-intensity sports like soccer, Australian football, and basketball is proposed to contribute to SVD development [ 17 , 19 ]; also, enrolling in a new sport may be associated with it [ 6 ]. Additionally, cartilaginous diseases such as Osgood–Schlatter disease have been observed to play a role in the development of SVD [ 20 ].…”

Background: Sever’s disease, or calcaneal apophysitis, stands as the most prevalent cause of heel pain in children, often linked to sports like soccer, Australian football, and basketball. While various therapies are documented in the scientific literature, the standard choice is conservative treatment. Thus, the objective of this research was to assess the effectiveness of diverse conservative methods and techniques in alleviating Sever’s disease symptoms. Methods: Systematic searches were conducted in October 2023 in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, SportDiscus, and PEDro, using terms like Osteochondritis, Osteochondrosis, Apophysitis, Sever’s disease, Calcaneus, Adolescent, Child, and Childhood. The PEDro scale gauged methodological quality, and the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool evaluated the risk of bias. Results: Eight randomized controlled studies were included, featuring commonly used treatments such as insoles, therapeutic exercises, Kinesio taping, and foot orthoses. The methodological quality was generally good, with an average PEDro score of 6.75 points. Regarding bias, four articles had low risk, three had high risk, and one had some concern. Conclusions: Conservative treatment emerges as an effective option for alleviating symptoms associated with Sever’s disease.
