Abstract

Our study was aimed to describe the maturation pattern of the tibial tuberosity in association with chronological age in children and adolescent athletes. This was a single centre cross-sectional study on 116 subjects, 63 males and 53 females, with ages between 7 and 18 years. All participants were performance athletes, members of sports clubs, participating in daily training. All subjects were examined for symptoms related to Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) and evaluated by ultrasound of the knee in order to establish the maturation stage of the tibial tuberosity based on a 4-point scale. Tibial tuberosity maturation stage was distributed as follows: stage 1 (n = 31, 26.7%), stage 2 (n = 9, 7.8%), stage 3 (n = 27, 23.3%) and stage 4 (n = 49, 42.2%). Only three cases presented symptoms associated with OSD, which results in a very low prevalence of only 2.6%. Between the ages of 13 and 15 years, female subjects showed higher proportions of complete bone maturation compared to males. Our study provides information about the gender offset of tibial tuberosity bone maturation.

男女儿童和青少年运动员胫骨结节成熟度超声评估和奥斯古德-施莱特病筛查:一项横断面研究
我们的研究旨在描述儿童和青少年运动员胫骨结节的成熟模式与实足年龄的关系。这是一项单中心横断面研究,涉及116名受试者,63名男性和53名女性,年龄在7至18岁之间。所有参与者都是表演运动员,体育俱乐部成员,参加日常训练。所有受试者均检查与osgood - schlater病(OSD)相关的症状,并通过膝关节超声评估,以便根据4分制确定胫骨结节的成熟阶段。胫骨结节成熟阶段分布为:1期(n = 31, 26.7%)、2期(n = 9, 7.8%)、3期(n = 27, 23.3%)和4期(n = 49, 42.2%)。只有3例出现与OSD相关的症状,导致患病率非常低,仅为2.6%。在13到15岁之间,女性受试者比男性表现出更高的完全骨成熟比例。我们的研究提供了关于胫骨结节骨成熟的性别偏移的信息。
