Abstract

10 cases (14 knees) of late complicated Osgood-Schlatter disease were treated surgically in the Daegu Military Hospital. The surgical procedures used consisted in D) removal of loose fragments, 6 cases (8 knees). 2) complete superiostcal excision of tubercle with removal of fragment, 4 cases (6 knees) (Table 1). Surgical approach had been successful with respect to relieving the symptoms but we still had in most instance the objectionable knob-like deformity on the knee after removal of fragment. The authors emphasized that removal of the tubercle is the surest and shortest procedure to bring about a complete and lasting cure.
