What is Sinding-Larson and Johannson syndrome?



Sinding-Larson and Johannson syndrome is a condition causing knee pain in growing adolescents, especially those engaged actively in sports. Excessive stress and overuse of the knee causes inflammation to the growth plate at the lower end of the patella (knee cap) resulting in pain.


What are the symptoms of Sinding-Larson and Johannson syndrome?

  • Pain over the anterior aspect of the knee near the bottom of the knee cap.
  • Possible swelling in the area
  • Limping when walking
  • Pain worse after exercise, especially involving sprinting, jumping and climbing stairs
  • May be precipitated by injury or trauma
