If you checked the other posts you made asking about grid the answer would be no.

It is probably caused by the powerful quadriceps muscle pulling on the attachment point of the patellar tendon during running activities such as soccer, basketball, track and other sports and in gymnastics and ballet.

The symptoms associated with Osgood Slaughter Disease is swelling and tenderness in the knee joint. It is most common in active children aged 10-15. It is the most common source of knee pain in children. Both males and females are equally vulnerable now, but at one time, the condition was found mainly in boys. It is always characterized by activity-related pain that is located a few inches below the knee cap. Sports that require a lot of running, jumping kneeling and squatting are particularly associated with Osgood Slaughter Disease.

The three main factors of the disease are:

1. The child is between 10 and 15 years old

2. The child is involved in youth sports

3. The child is in a 'growth spurt'

The disease was named after two physicians who defined the disease in 1903. About 2 million boys and girls in the United States contract Osgood-Slaughter Disease yearly.

The following link will provide you a few options:
Calf Sleeve

The MJ game used sleeve I have is made by Grid. MJ would fold the top of the sleeve down for two reasons:
1) Concealing the brand name, Grid, from public display.
2) Displaying the inner red color creating a trademark image.

thanks for your info. my knees just look exactly the same as the pic from the link. dang!

I've gone through several of those sleeves. I used to wear them religiously, from the time i was 11 or 12, up until i got out of high school, because mydoctor recommended it. I should probably still be wearing one, but since I only play pick up ball now...i'm 33 by the way, i dont. I've had them madeby grid, as well as other brands and colors......they were always black, but the other side has been red, blue or gray, depending on the brand. I actuallywould wear them ON my knee. Its a shame that i kept loosing them...or my mom would steal them for her own knees as she got older.

Some people said the reason he folded it is because he didn't want to show the brand (besides it showing the red).

Padded on left. Non-Padded on right.

Box for the padded version.

 

[23airjacobs23]
