“…However, using KT means peak swelling was reached after 0.5 days with significant lower values compared to the no-KT group. Furthermore, reduction of swelling was faster in the KT group compared to the no-KT group, decreasing the swelling by more than 60 % during the first 2 days after surgery [23]. This might be due to KT stretch capabilities, thickness and adhesion allowing approximating the quality of the skin.…”

Introduction Orthognathic surgery involves making several osteotomies that lead to varying degrees of post-operative swelling. The use of KT may be beneficial for postoperative treatment after head and neck surgery, accelerating drainage of tissue reaction or haemorrhages. The goal of this study was to find out if the application of KT prevents or improves swelling, pain and trismus after orthognathic surgery, improving patients' postoperative quality of life. Materials and Methods In this double-blinded, randomized, control trial, 24 patients in whom bimaxillary orthognathic surgery was indicated, were included. Before surgery each patient alternatively was randomly included in the study group (treated with K-Taping Ò and corticosteroid) or in the control group (treated with corticosteroid). In the present study a MakerBot Ò Digitizer 3D TM was used to assess accurate volume measurements. All swelling measurements were expressed as total 3-D area of the landmarks (cm 2 ) in T0 pre-operative, T1 fourth day after surgery. Results The differences T0-T1 are highly significant (p \ 0.01) between group 1 or study group (treated with K-taping Ò ) and group 2 (control group). Discussion The use of KT appears promising, because it is simple to carry out, less traumatic, economical, can be performed everywhere in the world, free from side effects on the body. Even when swelling persists, KT gives patients the impression of a minor swelling detracting them from their pain and morbidity. Further studies have to be performed to find out if KT can reduce or replace the need for additional medications such as the use of steroids.

“…The only distinct exception is the study by Windisch et al [11]. Four studies provide rather clear statistical evidence for an advantage of kinesiotaping: the study of Tozzi et al [21] considering a single outcome, and the studies by Ristow et al [16,19,20] which indicate an increasing difference over time, reaching significance at day 2 the latest. Also in the study by Donec et al [22], we can recognize significant differences concerning three of the four outcomes at several follow-up time points, in the study of Gülenc [17] for two of four outcomes at several time points, and in the study of Balki et al [14] for two outcomes on day 10.…”

“…When interpreting the results, studies from maxillofacial surgery and extremity surgery should be separated. Ristow et al [16,19,20] describe a standardized postoperative regimen with non-steroidal antiphlogistic medication as analgesic medication with influence though on inflammation and swelling, as well as and application of cooling measures. Tozzi et al [21] used the application of perioperative dexamethasone and cooling as antiphlogistic treatment.…”

“…Negative differences indicate better outcomes under kinesiotape. In the studies of Donec et al [22] and Ristow et al [16,19,20] and for day 5 in the study of Bialoszewski et al [12] results are based on change scores, in all other studies raw measurements are used as input. Most studies report a circumfence or diameter as outcome.…”

“…For the study by Windisch et al [11] we use the score from a "Principal Component Analysis2 based on eight different circumferences and omitted the eight single outcomes. For the maxillo-facial evaluaions, the three studies by Ristow et al [16,19,20] use the sum of five predefined line lengths in the face, the study of Tozzi et al [21] a volume based on a MakerBot® Digitizer 3DTM in cm 3 .95% confidence intervals (red lines) are shown when sufficient information was provided in the studies.

Background: Postoperative oedema is a common condition affecting wound healing and function. Traditionally, manual lymphatic drainage is employed to reduce swelling. Kinesiotaping might be an alternative resource-sparing approach. This article explores current evidence for the effectiveness of kinesiotaping for the reduction of oedema in the postoperative setting. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed on the basis of five databases (Pubmed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrials.gov) for studies published between January 2000 and October 2019. Only prospective controlled trials were included. Case studies, uncontrolled case series, studies on oedema caused by other etiologies than by surgery, as well as studies on malignant disease related oedema (especially breast cancer related oedema) were excluded. Articles were screened by title, abstract, and full text and the references were searched for further publications on the topic. A narrative and quantitative (using STATA) analysis was performed.Results: One thousand two hundred sixty-three articles were screened, twelve were included in the analysis. All studies evaluated either oedema after extremity surgery or maxillofacial interventions, and showed relevant methodological flaws. Only three studies employed an active comparator. Of the twelve included studies ten found positive evidence for kinesiotape application for the reduction of swelling and beneficial effects on secondary outcome parameters such as pain and patient satisfaction. The available trials were heterogenic in pathology and all were compromised by a high risk of bias.Conclusion: There is some evidence for the efficacy of kinesiotaping for the treatment of postoperative oedema. This evidence is, however, not yet convincing given the limitations of the published trials. Methodologically sound comparison to standard of care or an active comparator is indispensable for an evaluation of effectiveness. In addition, assessments of patient comfort and cost-benefit analyses are necessary to evaluate the potential relevance of this novel technique in daily practice.Systematic review registration number: International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) ID 114129).

Fractures of the Zygomatico Maxillary complex result in cosmetic deformity as well as functional deficits such as altered vision, restricted mouth opening and paresthesia. Accurate restitution of the form and function of the ZMC is challenging because of its multipoint- articulation within the cranio facial skeleton and the difficulty involved in intra-operative assessment of reduction at all articulations. Management of ZMC fractures is unique; (1) The approaches used for reduction may be different from those for fixation (2) Lack of complete visualization of fracture predisposes to over or under reduction resulting in sub optimal outcomes (3) Philosophies of fixation and stabilization are numerous and debatable.With advancements in the imaging technology, armamentarium and refinement of approaches to fracture, there is an emerging trend towards achieving utmost precision in reduction and fixation with minimally invasive surgical principles. This chapter aims at elaborating the biodynamics of ZMC fractures, the evolution of various techniques for reduction & fixation along with their rationale and finally the cutting-edge technology in management of fractured ZMC.
