After surgery, a major problem in patients is pain, swelling, intraarticular hematoma, and the restriction of the mobility of the joint. The aim of this work was to determine the effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) on reducing edema of the subcutaneous tissue and improving the range of motion in the joint. Methods: 82 patients were qualified for the study. After surgery, 42 patients received postoperative edema treatment with KT bands, and 40 patients did not receive the treatment. The swelling thickness and range of mobility were measured on the third and eighth days after the operation. Results: A statistical difference between the longitudinal measurements of the KT group and the group without KT application was shown at the level of the fibula head, 25 mm below the fibula neck, and 50 mm below the fibular neck. There were no statistically significant differences in the change in knee angle between the applied and non-applied patients. Conclusion: The lymphatic application technique KT influences the absorption of subcutaneous edema after primary knee joint replacement surgery but has no influence on mobility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11123456","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,17]],"date-time":"2022-06-17T01:48:12Z","timestamp":1655430492000},"page":"3456","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Does Application of Lymphatic Drainage with Kinesiology Taping Have Any Effect on the Extent of Edema and Range of Motion in Early Postoperative Recovery following Primary Endoprosthetics of the Knee Joint?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Sobiech","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Lublin, 20-093 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7497-3815","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agata","family":"Cz\u0119pi\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Lublin, 20-093 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2849-0641","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Zieli\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Lublin, 20-093 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6087-017X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Zawadka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Lublin, 20-093 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0265-9960","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Gawda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Lublin, 20-093 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Sen, R., and Hurley, J.A.
