These variants include labral calcifications, os acetabuli or acetabular rim fractures, and labral ossification. Labral calcifications are small soft calcification deposits within the labrum in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The overall cause is unknown. For acetabular rim fractures/os acetabuli, there are several proposed causes, including unfused secondary ossification center (true os acetabuli) and repetitive microtrauma leading to a stress fracture of the acetabulum (acetabular rim fractures). Surgical intervention can include excision versus fixation. Labral ossification involves circumferential ossification of the labrum that is contiguous with the lateral edge of the acetabular rim. Surgical intervention can include labral debridement, repair, or reconstruction.</p><p><strong>Technique description: </strong>In labral calcification debridement, the superior aspect of the labrum is incised with a radiofrequency device or a beaver blade, and a shaver is reintroduced to remove the calcifications. For acetabular rim fractures/os acetabuli, if excision would lead to iatrogenic dysplasia, then the decision to fix the os back to the acetabulum is made. Several techniques for fixation have been described, including the suture-on-screw technique and the all-suture anchor suture-staple configuration. For labral ossification, surgical decision-making depends on the degree of ossification and the quality of the remaining labrum.

This management is divided into 3 phases: acute, intermediate, and late. In the acute phase (0-4 weeks), cryotherapy and compression manage effusion, while early ROM exercises prevent stiffness. The intermediate phase (4-6 weeks) focuses on strengthening dynamic knee stabilizers and incorporating progressive open- and closed-chain exercises. The late phase (6-8 weeks) aims to restore full strength and prepare the patient for return to activity through sports-specific drills and higher-intensity exercises.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Conservative management for first-time patellar dislocations shows promising outcomes. Early active ROM and strength training are associated with improved knee function, increased ROM, and higher patient satisfaction. Interventions such as patellar taping and nonrigid bracing provide immediate stability and relief, promoting muscle preservation and improved ROM at subsequent follow-ups. Systematic reviews indicate no significant difference in redislocation rates between partial and full weightbearing protocols, supporting the recommendation to avoid immobilization. Key International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) guidelines emphasize complete healing, neuromuscular training, core strength, and psychological readiness for a safe return to sport.

For the ankle, the tape is applied beginning on the lateral surface of the leg, wrapping around the lateral ankle, and ending on the dorsal aspect of the foot. For the foot, a \"figure 8\" is applied over the metatarsal heads and along the dorsum of the foot for stability and pain control. Long Y strips are utilized to help reduce muscle fatigue and improve range of motion of the calf and shoulder, namely, the deltoid and supraspinatus muscle groups in the latter application. KT strips are used to guide the patella into a more desirable position to address patellar tracking and pain. For the biceps, an I strip of kinesiology tape is applied across its entire length from the distal insertion to the origin to enhance muscle strength and torque.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Evidence supports KT for short-term improvements in muscle balance, fatigue resistance, range of motion, and pain control.</p><p><strong>Discussion/conclusion: </strong>There appears to be a role for KT in meeting short-term athletic demands such as muscle balance, fatigue resistance, range of motion, and pain control across a variety of muscle groups. The use of proper KT technique maximizes its effectiveness as a therapeutic tool for athletes and minimizes the risk of undesirable side effects.</p><p><strong>Patient consent disclosure statement: </strong>The author(s) attests that consent has been obtained from any patient(s) appearing in this publication.
