관절경을 이용한 오스굿씨 병(Osgood-Schlatter's Disease)의 골편 제거술 = Arthroscopic Removal of Ossicles Associated with Osgood-Schlatter's Disease

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Osgood-Schlatter's disease is generally treated conservatively. However, surgical treatment is necessary for some patients with recurrent or persistent pain that does not respond to conservative treatment. Most authors recommend the excision of the loose ossicles present around the distal end of the patellar tendon. The authors report the technique of arthroscopic removal of the ossicles for Osgood-Schaltter's disease instead of the conventional technique through the incision at the tibial tuberosity. The advantages of this technique are less damage to the patellar tendon, early postoperative recovery, making no incisional scar in front of the tuberosity which causes the scar discomfort in kneeling, and more cosmetic result.
