Application of Continuous Passive Movement for Post-op Recovery of Tibial Plateau Fractures .
Prolonged Application of Continuous Passive Movement Improves the Postoperative Recovery of Tibial Head Fractures: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study
Biomed Res Int. 2022 Feb 16;2022: 1236781.Study Summary
Sixty patients recovering from tibial plateau fracture surgery were randomized to receive conventional physical therapy plus the prolonged use of a continuous passive motion device (n=30) or conventional physical therapy alone (n=30). The primary outcome of interest was range of motion of the knee. Secondary outcomes of interest included knee function and quality of life measured using the Knee Society Score (KSS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), the Euro-QoL questionnaire, (EQ-5D), and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score. Results revealed significantly better range of motion, less pain, better knee function and better quality of life in the continuous passive motion group up to 6 months post-operation.
