Comparison of Knee Bone Morphology and Accessory Ossicle Incidence Between Elite Male Soccer Players and Controls
Elite male soccer players had a larger prominence on the tibial tuberosity, steeper PTS, and higher OOSD and BP incidence. Additionally, they had greater tibial tuberosity prominence and PTS on the dominant side. These findings suggest that repetitive mechanical loading during growth may influence knee bone morphology.
