Enfermedad de Osgood-Schlatter - Symptom

Nombres alternativos

Osteocondrosis

Síntomas:

El principal síntoma es una hinchazón dolorosa sobre una protuberancia en el hueso de la pierna inferior (tibia). Los síntomas ocurren en una o ambas piernas.

La persona puede presentar dolor de pierna o dolor de rodilla, que empeora al correr, saltar y subir escaleras.

El área es sensible a la presión y la inflamación fluctúa de leve a muy intensa.

Signos y exámenes:

El médico puede hacer un diagnóstico de este problema llevando a cabo un examen físico.

Una radiografía de hueso puede ser normal o puede mostrar inflamación o daño a la espina tibial, una protuberancia ósea por debajo de la rodilla. Las radiografías se usan muy poco, a menos que el médico quiera descartar otras causas del dolor.
