M. Osgood-Schlatter – from symptom to diagnosis

The knee joint has a complex structure and is one of the most mechanically stressed joints in humans. In addition to traumatic, inflammatory and degenerative joint damage, septic or aseptic osteonecrosis may also occur in the joint area. Bone necrosis due to infection is usually associated with osteomyelitis, and the cause of aseptic bone necrosis is often unclear.
