Does intensive continuous passive motion improve postoperative outcomes in knee replacement patients?

In a comprehensive study conducted at a medical center in Taiwan from January to December 2006, Chen, et. al., sought to investigate the impact of aggressive continuous passive motion on postoperative outcomes for patients who had undergone total knee arthroplasty (TKA) within six months. TKA, commonly known as knee replacement surgery, is performed to alleviate pain and improve joint mobility in individuals suffering from osteoarthritis. … Continue reading Does intensive continuous passive motion improve postoperative outcomes in knee replacement patients?

Is continuous passive motion essential for improved outcomes in computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty?

Continuous passive motion (CPM) therapy has demonstrated its efficacy in promoting tissue healing, reducing edema and hemarthrosis, and improving joint function (Brosseau et. al., 2004). It has also been associated with short-term benefits, such as early flexion improvement and reduced length of hospital stay (LOS). However, the application of CPM specifically in the context of computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remained largely unexplored. The primary … Continue reading Is continuous passive motion essential for improved outcomes in computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty?
