How old is he and does he suffer from any other conditions (e.g. Osgood’s)?
He’ll be 16 in a few weeks. He was diagnosed with what I believe the doc called Larson-Johansson. Sorry if I spelled that incorrectly.
There is no way I would be letting anyone inject a 16yo with anything into his patella tendon.
If he has been diagnosed with Sindling-Larsen-johannsen disease, which is NOT a tendon problem, it is a problem with the tendon insertion to the bone.
What investigations has he had so far??? I would be getting a 2nd opinion and choosing a more conservative path for someone so young
