OSSO Case Study · Regenerative Orthopaedics
A year sidelined, resolved in sixteen weeks
S.K.K. had been living with anterior knee pain for more than a year. Rest, activity modification, physiotherapy and NSAIDs had not settled it. A single high-dose Growth Factor Concentrate procedure and a phased rehabilitation programme took him from VAS 7–8 to VAS 1–2, and back to sport.

Condition
Left knee Osgood–Schlatter disease with distal patellar tendinopathy. Clinical examination and imaging demonstrated traction apophysitis of the tibial tuberosity with associated distal patellar tendon degeneration.
The Full Journey
Patient and presentation
- Problem treated
- Persistent left anterior knee pain due to Osgood–Schlatter disease, limiting sports participation for over one year
- Prior recommendation
- Prolonged rest from sport, activity modification, physiotherapy, NSAIDs and gradual return to play. Symptoms persisted despite conservative treatment, which led to consideration of regenerative injection therapy.

The OSSO protocol
Regenerative Tendon Restoration Protocol. A high-dose Growth Factor Concentrate injection targeting the distal patellar tendon and the periosteum of the fragmented tibial tuberosity, to stimulate biological healing - combined with a structured, phase-wise rehabilitation programme to progressively restore function and facilitate a safe return to sport.
Weeks 1–2 - Biological healing
Post-injection healing phase, with early pain reduction and protected activity.
Weeks 3–6 - Tendon recovery
Progressive tendon recovery, restoration of normal movement and gradual reloading.
Weeks 7–12 - Remodelling and strength
Continued tendon remodelling with increasing strength, function and sport-specific capacity.
Weeks 13–16 - Return to sport
Advanced functional recovery and return to unrestricted sporting activity.
Before treatment vs. week 16
At intake
- Pain (VAS)
- 7–8 / 10, chronic anterior knee pain
- Tibial tuberosity
- Localised tenderness; imaging consistent with fragmentation
- Distal patellar tendon
- Tenderness; tendinopathy on imaging
- Provocative activity
- Pain reproduced with squatting, running and jumping
- Range of motion
- Preserved
- Lower limb strength
- Reduced tolerance to sports participation
- Daily function
- Sports participation limited for over a year
Week 16
- Pain (VAS)
- 1–2 / 10
- Tibial tuberosity
- Minimal tenderness
- Distal patellar tendon
- Improved tendon loading capacity
- Provocative activity
- Running, jumping and sport without significant symptoms
- Range of motion
- Full knee range of motion
- Lower limb strength
- Restored lower limb strength
- Daily function
- No functional limitation in daily activities
Overall, an approximate 80–90% reduction in pain, alongside reduced tenderness over the tibial tuberosity, reduced pain during jumping and sprinting, and reduced dependence on pain medication.
