Athletic taping collision sports. These injuries often occur as a result of extrinsic factors such as collision with other players or equipment. Athletic taping has also been shown to reduce the severity in injuries, as well as the occurrence of injury in most sports. Injury Management: Tape is often applied to manage symptoms of chronic injuries such as medial tibial stress syndrome (or shin splints), patella-femoral syndrome, and turf-toe.

Compartment syndrome subsequent kidney failure are also possible complications. In some case series, rhabdomyolysis is reported in 23% of patients with ACS. The most common cause of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is fracture of a bone, which accounts for 69% to 75% of the reported cases. Importantly, there is no difference in the incidence of compartment syndrome between open and closed fractures. Leg compartment syndrome is found in 2% to 9% of tibial fractures. Direct injury to blood vessels can lead to compartment syndrome by reducing the downstream blood supply to soft tissues. This reduction in blood supply can cause a series
