Tiivistelmä
The objective of this thesis was to increase the knowledge on the Sinding-Larsen-Johansson knee pathology that happens in adolescents. Another objective was to recognise and inform the differences between other pathologies similar to that of Sinding-Larsen-Johansson.
At first a plan was made regarding the timeline and ideas of this thesis, once this was accepted and the green light was given to start the writing process, the first step was to find information about the pathology, come up with the headings and then to apply the found information into the thesis itself.
A narrative literature review was performed to support this concept. The goal was to compile factual data on what role physiotherapy plays in the treatment of Sinding-Larsen-Johansson. A systematized approach has been used to provide a more thorough examination and lessen the possibility of any bias.
The results show that in combination with rest conservative treatment is important. To stretch and strengthen the surrounding areas of the kneecap is important when it comes to preventative manners and treatment of the pathology itself. Results mention that surgical treatment should only be done as a last resort treatment, but without neglecting conservative treatment alongside the operational treatment.
