Summary
Seven adults with the sequelae of Osgood-Schlatter's disease presented after experiencing symptoms for an average of eight years. In four cases a true joint had formed between an ossicle in the patellar ligament and a facet on the tibia. Surgical treatment produced good results in all of the patients. Treatment differs from that in children in whom the epiphyseal lines are open.
Résumé
Sept adultes porteurs de séquelles de maladie d'Osgood-Schlatter présentaient une symptomatologie douloureuse depuis huit ans en moyenne. Dans quatre cas il existait une véritable articulation entre un osselet inclus dans le ligament rotulien et une facette tibiale. Le traitement chirurgical a donné de bons résultats chez tous les malades. Le traitement diffère ici de celui des enfants chez qui les cartilages de conjugaison ne sont pas soudés.
