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?

Do Postoperative Rehabilitation Programs Improve Spinal Surgery Outcomes? Patient Perspectives and Compliance Evaluation

Postoperative rehabilitation programs play a crucial role in enhancing patient outcomes following spinal surgery. However, the effectiveness of such programs remains uncertain, prompting a comprehensive evaluation of their content and style. In a recent multicenter, randomized controlled trial, conducted by Alison H McGregor, et. al., (2012) patients were invited to assess a rehabilitation program implemented as an intervention for postoperative management after spinal surgery. The … Continue reading Do Postoperative Rehabilitation Programs Improve Spinal Surgery Outcomes? Patient Perspectives and Compliance Evaluation
