Kinesiotaping Therapy for Clavicular Fractures FRACTURES:

November 4, 2020 updated by: Bulent KARSLIOGLU, Prof. Dr. Cemil Tascıoglu Education and Research Hospital Organization

An Alternative Conservative Treatment Method For Midshaft Clavicular Fractures: Kinesiotaping Therapy

This is a multicenter prospective randomized controlled study. Forty patients in whom conservative treatment for clavicle midshaft fractures was indicated between January 2018 and July 2019 were included.

The investigators aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the kinesiotaping technique for the conservative treatment of clavicle midshaft fractures. The investigators hypothesized that kinesiotaping reduces the disadvantages of conservative treatment, such as early-phase pain, high nonunion rates, and a prolonged time to return to work, and yields better clinical and functional outcomes by providing good mechanical support and neutralizing the deforming muscle forces around the fractured clavicle.

Detailed Description

The investigators divided into 2 groups and followed one group of patients with clavicle fractures only with shoulder sling, while the other group were followed with kinesiotherapy treatment and shoulder arm sling. They investigated the effect of kinesiotherapy treatment on early pain and returning time to work.
