Just How Common Is This Pediatric Condition?

[VickyRN]

Osgood-Schlatter Disease - Has anyone had any experience dealing with this? Is this a common enough pediatric condition to be mentioned in a lecture for RN students on pediatric musculoskeletal conditions??? Thanks for any insight you can offer me :)

I know when I worked as a Ped ER nurse, I heard it mentioned alot and saw several cases. Once the families were given some reassurance about O-S, I would joke to mothers of teenaged boys that their sons were not "not paying attention," that there was a physical reason that their sons were so clumsy!
