“…Although diagnosis of OSD is primarily clinical, MRI and US imaging can be used to demonstrate pathologic changes and confirm diagnosis. Common MRI findings in OSD show hypertrophy or fragmentation of the tibial tubercle with possible presence of ossification within the distal patellar tendon [16] . Edema adjacent to the patellar tendon often occurs [17] .…”

Osgood-Schlatter disease is relatively common condition in adolescents. Classically, its pathophysiology is considered to be a traction apophysitis of the proximal tibial tubercle, which is caused from overuse. However, there is growing evidence that the underlying pathology of Osgood-Schlatter disease is tendinosis rather than apophysitis. Tendinosis is described as a degeneration of collagen following chronic overuse of a tendon. Examination of ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging of tendinosis exhibits many similarities with the imaging of Osgood-Schlatter disease. Further research should be conducted in implicating tendinosis as the pathologic mechanism in Osgood-Schlatter disease. This paper provides a brief overview explaining the basis of tendinosis as the basic pathophysiology underlying Osgood-Schlatter disease and explores the related treatment implications.
