After a quick look in my orthopaedics textbook, I have found the following:
'Sindling Larsen (one person) described pain at the lower pole of the
patella caused by traction of the patellar tendon. The disease is similar
to Osgood-Schlatter's disease but occurs 1 or 2 years earlier.'
Hope this helps.
