Tibia recurvatum as a complication of Osgood-Schlatter's disease: a report of two cases.

ABSTRACT

Premature fusion of the anterior part of the upper tibial epiphyseal plate is a rare complication of Osgood-Schlatter's disease. The resulting deformity is both unsightly and difficult to treat. We report two further cases and highlight the need for regular screening for this rare complication of a common disease.
