AB An  adolescent  male  presents  with  unilateral  knee  pain  and  swelling  (Figure  90-1).  His  pain  is  worse  after  athletic  participation  and  with  kneeling.  On  examination,  he  has  point  tenderness  and  edema  of  the  tibial  tubercle.  He  is  diagnosed  with  Osgood-Schlatter  disease  and  treated  with  rest,  ice,  and  non-steroidal  anti-inflammatory  medication.  His  symptoms  improve  but  he  continues  to  have  mild  flares  of  pain  when  he  is  more  active.
