RESUMO:

Background:  Osgood-Schlatter (OS) syndrome is a pathology of the musculoskeletal system, often observed during the bone growth phase in adolescents. Hypothesis/Purpose: Demographic and anthropometric factors and those linked to the practice of sports may be related to the prevalence of OS. The aim of the present study was to describe the epidemiological profile and associated factors of individuals with OS syndrome in a population-based sample of Brazilian adolescents. Study Design: Cross-Sectional Study Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 956 adolescent students (474 boys; 482 girls), from 2008-2009, enrolled in the school system of …., Brazil. The age range ranged between 12 and 15 years (mean = 13.7±1.04). Specific tests were performed to assess the anthropometric and clinical aspects related to OS.  To confirm the diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter syndrome the subject had to fulfill all of the following clinical criteria: pain with direct pressure on the tibial aphopysis; aforementioned pain before, during and after physical activities; enlargement or prominence of the tibial aphopysis, pain with resisted knee extension and pain from jumping.Results: The overall prevalence of OS in the sample was 9.8% (11% of boys and 8.3% of girls; mean age = 13.7±1.04; male mean age = 13.5±1.07 and female mean age = 13.6±1.01). The results showed that 74.6% of the students suffered from muscle shortening. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression showed that the factors associated to the presence of OS were the regular practice of sport activity (OR= 1.94; 95% CI, 1.22-3.10) and the shortening of the rectus femoris muscle (OR= 7.15; 95% CI, 2.86-17.86). Conclusions: The regular practice of sports in the pubertal phase and the shortening of the rectus femoris muscle were the main factors associated to the presence of Osgood-Schlatter syndrome in the students.
