Osgood-Schlatter disease (also known as tibial tubercle apophyseal traction injury) is an inflammation of the growth plate at the tibial tuberosity, and is one of a group of conditions collectively called osteochondroses. The condition is named after the American surgeon Robert Bayley Osgood (1873–1956) and the Swiss surgeon Carl Schlatter (1864–1934), who independently described the disease in 1903.
The disease is most common in active boys and girls aged 11-15 and is usually self-limiting
Causes
The condition is caused by stress on the patellar tendon that attaches the quadriceps muscle at the front of the thigh to the tibial tuberosity. Following an adolescent growth spurt, repeated stress from contraction of the quadriceps is transmitted through the patellar tendon to the immature tibial tuberosity. This can cause multiple subacute avulsion fractures along with inflammation of the tendon, leading to excess bone growth in the tuberosity and producing a visible lump.

A terrible disease that occurs when a tiny chicken gets into the head of a human and lays eggs. The eggs hatch and more tiny chickens are born. Then the new generation of tiny chickens lay eggs, then they hatch and so on until there a so many tiny chickens that they can't fit inside the head. They need to get out, but they're pressing against the skull. The only way they can escape is via the nose/mouth/eyes.

Often abbreviated to 'TCD'
