Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
There have been no studies looking at clavicle fractures treated with kinesiology (elastic) tape. No adverse effects (skin irritation, redness, etc.) are observed with the application of this tape. Elastic tape has previously been examined regarding muscular advantages rather than for healing fractures. Since this tape should immobilize fractures better than a sling, patients should experience less pain and disability associated with their fracture.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Arm Sling Group
Arm Sling
An arm sling will be applied to stabilize the clavicle fracture, thereby decreasing motion and pain.
KT Tape Group
KT Tape
in addition to an arm sling, KT Tape will be applied to stabilize the clavicle fracture, thereby decreasing motion and pain.
Arm Sling
An arm sling will be applied to stabilize the clavicle fracture, thereby decreasing motion and pain.
