Abstract
Background
A common knee complaint during adolescence, a crucial time for staying physically active, is Osgood Schlatter (OS). As research into OS is only just emerging, a more detailed understanding of how OS patients presents are needed in order to design suitable treatments.
Purpose / Aim of Study
To explore Self-reported characteristics of adolescents with longstanding Osgood Schlatter.
Materials and Methods
Variables from self-reported instruments on symptoms, sports and physical activity participation, health, quality of life, mobility, pain beliefs and mental health amongst others, were collected from patients attending a specialized orthopedic inpatient setting, and the most novel findings are presented as summary data.
Findings / Results
Thirty-three patients (age 13.5±1.7 years, symptom-duration 23.6±16.1 months) participated. Acceptable symptom state was present in 36%, and 27% was satisfied with their sports performance. 81% had changed their level of physical activity and 51% currently participated in sports. Sports function was affected (mean KOOS child ‘sport/rec’ subscale 62 [95%CI 56-67]). Self-rated health was reduced (mean 0-100 EQ-D5-Y-VAS scale56.1 [95%CI 45-84], 69% reported either ‘some’- or ‘a lot problems doing usual activities’, and 31% ‘some’- or ‘a lot of problems walking about’. Quality of Life was reduced (mean KOOS child ‘QoL’ subscale score 49.6 [95%CI 45-55]). Patients scored mean 10 on the 0-12 pain-self efficacy scale (PSEQ-2), 62% reported a high level of kinesiophobia (TSK-17 38 point cutoff), and 31% being ‘a bit worried, sad or unhappy’. Previous insidious heel pain was reported by 39%.
Conclusions
Osgood Schlatter patients are affected on satisfaction with symptoms, sports and physical activity participation, health, quality of life, mobility, pain beliefs and mental health. The consequences of Osgood Schlatter, typically denoted as benign and self-limiting, seems to have significant consequences on adolescents suffering from this condition. Addressing these factors are likely important when designing future effective managements strategies.
