Kramer Orthopedics: Our Treatments
|
|
A Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) is a postoperative treatment method that is utilized to assist in the recovery
of a joint after surgery. Passive range of motion means that the joint is moved without the muscles in the area being engaged. The CPM
machine prevents the tissue around the joint from becoming stiff and decreases scar tissue to form, allowing the joint to maintain its
mobility. In surgeries where microfracture or osteoplasty is done it is also used to promote new fibro-cartilage to grow.
A CPM is used when a knee ligament reconstruction is done. The CPM is typically used for a period of 1 to 6 weeks depending on the
surgery performed.
