Purpose of the study/project​​​​

Despite its commonality, there is little knowledge on the long-term consequences for health from hav-ing apophysitis in childhood or adolescence. The purpose of this study is to review the long-term conse-quences of having had a lower limb apophysitis in a large registry-based sample. We aim to capture self-reported health-status for all adults in Denmark having been diagnosed with lower limb apophysitis from 1977 to 2020 and compare these data with estimates from the background population. Secondly, to examine if self-reported historical apophysitis symptoms (duration, symptom severity, restrictions in participation) are related to current symptoms or health by comparing subgroups.​​
