An older physio taught me to apply compressive tape to an Osgood Schlatters
tib tube, thus squeezing out inflammatory exudate and allowing the tib tube
to become closely juxtaposed to the underlying bone (painful at first but
sound theoretically). Do you know a technique for doing the same to the
patella apex?
My Rx of the SLJ Syndrome has been to rest the knee for ~3 weeks and lots
of RICE, then progress knee extension, avoiding knee extension beyond 30
degrees of knee flexion for 3-5 weeks or until symptoms decrease.
