title: The sequelae of Osgood-Schlatter's disease in adults.
abstract: 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.
