Abstract

The authors present a group of 49 patients treated over the period of ten years for the Osgood-Schlatter disease. Conservative treatment was employed in 5 patients and 44 patients were treated surgically by the excision of the loose fragment of apophysis. On the basis of the evaluation of the data the authors state that on average 40 months after operation there was no improvement of the condition in as many as 34 per cent of patients and they were not satisfied with the result of operation. After the analysis of the potential causes of failures they stress the necessity of deliberate indication for operation and the priority of the conservative treatment.
