Abstract
Sinding – Larsen Johansson syndrome (SLJ) and Osgood Schlatter disorder (OSD) are Osteochondroses. Both conditions may coexist, resulting in anterior knee pain in a child. We report a case of its coexistence in a Nigerian child. We reviewed patient medical journal corroborated with clinical examinations and review of relevant literatures. The case was that of an eleven years old active male athlete with anterior knee pain and functional limitation of flexion. Radio-diagnostic imaging confirms the existence of both types of Osteochondroses. We report the coexistence of both conditions in a Nigerian child.
