PAINFUL HEELS AMONG CHILDREN (APOPHYSITIS)

PAINFUL HEELS AMONG CHILDREN (APOPHYSITIS) Since the discovery of roentgen rays less than forty years ago, the study of the pathologic physiology of bone has been markedly facilitated and, as was to be expected, a number of hitherto unknown pathologic conditions of bone have been revealed. Beginning with Osgood's report in 1903, an important group of syndromes, accompanied by certain definite symptoms and by similar epiphyseal changes observed roentgenographically, have been described and elevated to the dignity of specific diseases. Among these diseases are: avulsion of the tibial tubercle (Osgood, 1903; Schlatter, 1908), tarsal scophoiditis (Kohler, 1908), osteochondritis deformans of the hip (Legg, 1910; Perthes, 1910), infraction of metatarsal heads (Freiburg, 1914), kyphosis dorsalis juvenilis (Buchmann, 1925) and traumatic malacia of the carpal semilunar bone (Kienbóck, 1910). Furthermore, it has gradually become apparent that there are marked similarities in the general pattern of these diseases, for they all seem to follow trauma of one kind http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association

Abstract

Since the discovery of roentgen rays less than forty years ago, the study of the pathologic physiology of bone has been markedly facilitated and, as was to be expected, a number of hitherto unknown pathologic conditions of bone have been revealed. Beginning with Osgood's report in 1903, an important group of syndromes, accompanied by certain definite symptoms and by similar epiphyseal changes observed roentgenographically, have been described and elevated to the dignity of specific diseases. Among these diseases are: avulsion of the tibial tubercle (Osgood, 1903; Schlatter, 1908), tarsal scophoiditis (Kohler, 1908), osteochondritis deformans of the hip (Legg, 1910; Perthes, 1910), infraction of metatarsal heads (Freiburg, 1914), kyphosis dorsalis juvenilis (Buchmann, 1925) and traumatic malacia of the carpal semilunar bone (Kienbóck, 1910). Furthermore, it has gradually become apparent that there are marked similarities in the general pattern of these diseases, for they all seem to follow trauma of one kind
