title: Bilateral fractures through "giant" patellar tendon ossicles: a late sequela of Osgood-Schlatter disease.
abstract: Osgood-Schlatter disease is a common condition which affects many adolescents. It is generally a self-limiting process with a finite clinical course and late sequelae are notably uncommon. In this paper we present a unique case of bilateral fractures through "giant" patellar tendon ossicles in an adult with a history of Osgood-Schlatter disease.
