title: Unresolved Osgood-Schlatter Disease.
abstract: In brief: Osgood-Schlatter disease is usually characterized by a finite clinical course with no sequelae. Occasionally, however, a patient will have continuing problems and may require surgery. The college skier described here did not respond to conservative therapy (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication, muscle-strengthening exercises, and immobilization), and surgery was deemed appropriate.
