        abstract = {BACKGROUND Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD), a form of traction apophysitis of the tibial tuberosity, is common in children and adolescents particularly those who engage in sport activities that involve a lot of running and jumping. One of the major causes of anterior knee pain in the age bracket is the fact that the patellar tendon insertion is under significant mechanical stress during the growth spurt. Conservative management, in particular, physiotherapy, makes it possible to prevent long-term problems, improve functional outcomes, and reduce discomfort.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To review and assess comprehensively the contribution of physiotherapy interventions in the management of Osgood-Schlatter disease in the pediatric age group and paying attention to their effectiveness in reducing pain, improving functions and restoring sports, etc.
METHODOLOGY PEDRO used the PICO format to create search queries in PubMed and Google Scholar using electronic search. The search was narrowed down with filters as follows: publication date (not older than 10 years), language (English) and study type (randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, systematic reviews, and case reports) and 15 articles were selected to review.
CONCLUSION: - Physical therapy is the conventional mode of conservative management of Osgood-Schlatter disease among children and adolescents. The current research proves that multimodal physiotherapy methods, such as activity modification, structured exercise programs, and adjuvant methods like shockwave therapy, can help improve pain and functional outcome. The early physiotherapy provision would enable young patients to resume normal and sports activities safely and with appropriate patient education and self management strategies, maximize recovery and reduce chances of having long term issues.},
