Osgood-Schlatter's Disease is an overuse injury affecting the front of the knee, particularly common in growing children aged 9-12 who participate in activities involving a lot of running and jumping. This condition results from the body's inability to recover sufficiently during periods of rapid growth and intense physical training. It is a self-limiting condition with no long-term complications, resolving once growth stops. Management primarily involves conservative approaches such as rest, ice, improved nutrition, and adjusting training load based on pain levels, rather than requiring invasive procedures.
