The language of orthopedics is rather interesting in that it often credits the original describers or those who popularized a disease process by attaching their names to the disease process in question. These so-called "eponyms" have become quite commonplace in our literature and offer important orthopedic historical insight. Often throughout history, the simultaneous discovery of a disorder is described by two independent researchers, resulting in a hyphenated eponym. Such is the case in the observations made by two physicians, Robert Bayley Osgood and Carl Schlatter, concerning overuse injuries of the tibial tubercle in adolescents. This disorder subsequently became known as "Osgood-Schlatter disease, and aspects of its hyphenated history are the focus of this paper.
骨科学的术语相当有趣，因为它常常将某种疾病过程的最初描述者或推广者的名字与该疾病过程联系起来，以此来纪念他们。这些所谓的“以人名命名的疾病名称”在我们的文献中已经相当常见，并且提供了重要的骨科学历史见解。在历史上，一种病症常常会被两位独立的研究者同时发现，结果就产生了用连字符连接的以人名命名的疾病名称。两位医生罗伯特·贝利·奥斯古德（Robert Bayley Osgood）和卡尔·施拉特（Carl Schlatter）对青少年胫骨结节过度使用损伤的观察就是这样的情况。这种病症随后就被称为“奥斯古德-施拉特病”，而其连字符命名历史的各个方面就是本文的重点。
