Osgood Schlatters is an injury to the bone growth plate in the shin bone (tibia) below the patella (kneecap). It occurs in younger athletes. The growth plate is an area of weakness in the bone and overuse or forceful contractions of the thigh muscle can injure the growth plate. This commonly occurs in periods of rapid growth with the athlete and with sports that involve running and jumping.
