“…As our knowledge about the biomechanical importance of the MPFL evolves -mainly its role against lateral displacement during motion and under high lateral stresses [15] -the more orthopaedic surgeons consider MPFL reconstruction the mainstay of treatment, even in the context of a primary APD [16]. Postoperatively, the McConnell tapping method was applied, with the goals of protecting and maintaining / improving the patellofemoral biomechanics [17]. In summary, despite paucity of diagnostic imaging exams, a good functional outcome was achieved.…”

Osteochondral patellar fractures in pediatric age can result from acute patellar dislocations (APDs). The purpose of this article is to document and discuss the surgical treatment performed to a young female patient diagnosed with an osteochondral fracture (OCF) of the patella in the first episode of an APD.We state the first episode of an APD in a 12 year-old girl, who presented with pain, edema and limited extension of the right knee, after a direct knee trauma. She had no predisposing factors regarding patellofemoral instability. This patient was treated at our Orthopaedic Surgery Department and then clinically (Kujala score) and radiographically evaluated, at 12 months of follow-up.The knee radiograms gave rise to the suspicion of a large inferior osteochondral patellar fragment. Operative treatment was decided and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the fragment was performed, through a medial parapatellar approach. The fragment dimensions were 24x18mm. The medial structures were addressed and repaired. The patient went through a rehabilitation programme and returned to full activities three months postoperatively. After 12 months of follow-up, there was full range of motion, no redislocation episodes and the Kujala score was 96.Open reduction and anatomic in situ internal fixation of the osteochondral fragment was mandatory in this case, due to its dimensions and location. We consider this a safe and efficient technique that allows osteosynthesis of the osteochondral fragment; the approach used makes possible the acute repair of the medial structures. There is still no general consensus about whether or not to reconstruct the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) in the context of a primary APD.

“…[57,58] Pekyavaş ve Baltacı, dört farklı tedavi yaklaşımını uyguladıkları omuz sıkışma sendromunda, manipülatif yöntemler alan grup (n=20) ve yüksek yoğunluklu lazer tedavisi alan grupta (n=22) ağrının daha kısa sürede azalmasında daha etkili olduğunu göstermişler, ancak kinezyo bantlamanın da 3. derecede etkin yöntem olarak kullanılabileceğini vurgulamışlardır. [59] Klinikte yapılan tedavilerde, diz ile ilgili patolojilerden ön çapraz bağ lezyonu [60][61][62][63][64] , patellofemoral ağrı sendromu [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75] ve diz osteoartritindeki [76][77][78] uygulamalarda, semptomlardan ağrının azaltılması ile ilgili sonuç-lar dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmalarda, öncelikle ön çapraz bağ yaralanmalarındaki akut problemlerde, ödemin azaltılması ve kuadriseps kas fonksiyonuna destek için (Şekil 1) fasilitasyon tekniği uygulamaları yapılmış, 72 saat sonra ağrının azalmasına yönelik bulgular görülmüştür.…”

“…[60][61][62] Patellofemoral ağrı sendromunda uygulanan kinezyo bant tekniği ile ağrıda azalmada, biyomekaniksel mekanizmaların yanı sıra propriyoseptif ve diğer nö-ral mekanizmaların da etkisi olduğu düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca, patellofemoral ağrı sendromunun tedavisinde McConnell rijid bantlama tekniğindeki uygulamalarla yapılan karşılaştırmalarda [68][69][70] , kinezyo bantlamanın erken dönemde ağrıyı azaltmada daha etkili olduğu, ancak yetersiz sayı ile yapılan uygulamalar ve farklı tekniklerin uygulanması nedeniyle daha fazla sayıda-ki olgularla yapılması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Ağrılı hastalarda bantlama sonrasında kortikal aktivite ölçümü, bantlamanın olası propriyoseptif etkilerini değerlendirmek açısından önemlidir.…”

“…Bantlamanın spinal seviye eksitasyonundaki etkisinin; kuadrisepse giden ön boynuz hücrelerinin afferent uyarımıyla, kas iğciği ve golgi tendon organlarının mekanik uyarımıy-la veya kutanöz girdi ile oluştuğu düşünülmektedir. [70] Kutanöz afferent uyarı, motor korteksle ilişki içindedir ve böylece merkezi sinir sisteminin kas uyarılabilirliğini etkiler.

Kinesio Taping (KT) is commonly used in sports injuries, in rehabilitation of orthopaedic, neurologic, oncologic and paediatric patients. It can be used to reduce pain, increase range of motion, facilitate or inhibit muscle activity and improve proprioception. Although the mechanism of action is unclear, it is believed that activation of the cutaneous receptors could influence neuromuscular functions. The use of KT decreases pain in most of soft tissue pathologies. More high-quality researches with long-term follow-ups are required to validate the effects of KT for pain relief, promotion of circulation and relief of muscle spasm. Future studies are required to ensure methodological quality like blinding of subjects and clinicians as well as the presence of a placebo-taping group.

“…Kinesiology tape is available without prescription in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and patterns (eg, Kinesio Tex Tape, Rocktape) and can be worn for up to 5 days during normal activities of daily living including showering. Kinesiology taping differs from conventional taping and bandaging techniques that often use rigid zinc oxide tape because it does not restrict movement and appears to be better tolerated 8. Conventional taping techniques stabilise injuries by reducing loading and restricting movement of injured body parts.…”

SUMMARY Up to 150 words summarising the case presentation and outcome (this will be freely available online) We present the case of a 46-year old woman who developed severe pain described as 'tearing' and 'searing' in the left side of mid-trapezius region near thoracic 8 vertebra (T8). The patient had undergone surgery for T8 fracture which had resulted from metastasis (secondary breast cancer). A community nurse referred the patient for physiotherapy assessment and treatment for her musculoskeletal pain and related symptoms that had affected her mobility and functional activities. The patient was treated with soft tissue therapy with the addition of kinesiology taping on follow-up visits. Kinesiology tape was applied over her left-side trapezius region and left shoulder. The patient reported significant reductions in pain severity and felt greater control and stability over her left shoulder region, which resulted in better function and overall quality of life measures. The patient did not report any adverse effects. BACKGROUND Why you think this case is important -why did you write it up?People with cancer especially in advanced stages have to cope with a number of distressing symptoms including pain, fatigue, lack of energy, oedema, dyspnoea and abdominal discomfort that result in reduced quality of life (1-4). Management of these symptoms is pharmacotherapy-led with a trade-off between symptom relief and adverse effects. Nonpharmacological interventions are often used in combination with medication to alleviate symptoms.Kinesiology taping involves the application of elasticated, thin, porous, water-resistant, cottonbased adhesive tape to the skin. It has become popular in recent times through its use by high profile elite sports people. The tape and technique was developed in 1970s for the management and rehabilitation of sports-related musculoskeletal injuries (5). Nowadays kinesiology taping is used by physical and sports therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors and nurses to manage musculoskeletal pain, cancer-related lymphedema and stroke-related spasticity (6, 7). Kinesiology tape is available without prescription in variety of shapes, sizes, colours and patterns (e.g. Kinesio® Tex Tape, Rocktape) and can be worn for up to 5 days whilst during normal activities of daily living including showering. Kinesiology taping differs from conventional taping and bandaging techniques that often use rigid zinc oxide tape because it does not restrict movement and appears to be better tolerated (8). Conventional taping techniques stabilise injuries by reducing loading and restricting movement of injured body parts. In contrast, kinesiology tape is applied to the skin under mild tension by stretching the tape and / or stretching the skin (e.g. by flexing or extending the joint). This provides a pulling force to the skin which may correct articular malalignments and influence proprioception and muscle function (9). It is also claimed that kinesiology taping "lifts" the epidermis to produce regions of decompression beneath...
