Abstract:

Sinding-Larsen–Johansson syndrome (SLJ) is an overuse injury most commonly seen in young male athletes. It is an osteochondrosis of the distal patella, secondary to excessive traction caused by the extensor mechanism. This case details treatment of a 10-year old boy diagnosed with SLJ who showed marked improvement after utilizing a new osteopathic manipulative treatment technique. This technique incorporates the use of myofascial release along acupuncture meridians to improve function and decrease healing time. The authors consider this case worthy of reporting due to the immediate improvement of the patient secondary to manipulation, and the ability for the athlete to continue activity despite the diagnosis. This case suggests potential for increased utilization of the technique as a concomitant treatment to those modalities already being practiced.
