Osgood-Schlatter disease is the most common osteochondritis of the lower limb in sportpracticing children and adolescents. Its manifestation usually coincides with the appearance of
the secondary ossification center of the tibia and is linked to the practice of sports with an explosive component. In the present study, a review of the factors related to its appearance, diagnosis
and treatment was carried out. Its appearance seems to be multifactorial and related to multiple
morphological, functional, mechanical and environmental factors. Given all the above, risk factor
reduction and prevention seem the most logical strategies to effectively prevent the appearance
of the condition. In addition, it is essential to create prevention programs that can be objectively
assessed and would allow to stop the progress of the pathology, particularly in those sports where
high forces are generated on the insertion zone of the patellar tendon at sensitive ages. More studies
are needed to clarify which type of treatment is the most appropriate—specific exercises or the usual
care treatment
