简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of postoperative Kinesio taping on pain, range of motion, and edema in patients undergoing surgical fixation for Weber type B lateral malleolar fractures.
详细描述
Patients with Weber type B lateral malleolar fractures treated surgically were randomized into two groups: a control group receiving standard rehabilitation and an intervention group receiving additional Kinesio taping. Outcomes assessed included visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, dorsiflexion range of motion, and circumferential edema measurements at 1, 7, and 28 days postoperatively.

结局指标
主要结局
