We evaluated xeroradiographic image of the knee joint in twenty-one patients with Osgood-Schlatter disease.
Main findings in twenty-five knees were as follows:
1) Abnormal bony change (segmentation or fragment displacement) of tibial tuberosity was visible in 21 knees (84%).
2) Thickening of patellar tendon was noted in 19 knees (76%).
3) Dense shadow in the area of infrapatellar fat pad or deep infrapatellar bursa was present in 6 knees (24%).
The accentuation of contrast gradation and fine definition in these roentgenological images is available in the study of this disease.
