Abstract Background: Cryotherapy and continuous passive motion (CPM) are commonly used for conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to reduce postoperative pain and increase of the range of motion (ROM). However, this postoperative nursing intervention remains elusive for patients undergoing computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (CAS-TKA) Methods: A prospective, randomized controlled trial with a purposive sampling method was utilized. Sixty patients scheduled for a unilateral CAS-TKA at a medical center were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The intervention group applied programed cryotherapy and CPM within one hour while returning to the ward on the day of surgery, while the control group did not. Data were analyzed using mixed models to compare numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain, ROM, and swelling at postoperative day (POD) 4. Results: There was no significant difference in the NRS score between the groups ( p = 0.168). The intervention group had significantly higher ROM than the control group (98 degrees vs. 91 degrees, p = 0.004) at POD 4. Although no significant difference in joint swelling was found between groups ( p = 0.157), the intervention group had lower mean joint swelling (32.2 cm) than the control group (33.9 cm). Conclusions: Programmed cryotherapy and continuous passive motion can improve the range of motion after CAS-TKA. It should be incorporated into the daily nursing plan for patients undergoing CAS-TKA.

Abstract Background. This study aimed to assess whether use of continuous passive motion (CPM) can improve range of motion in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Moreover, the relationship between the use of CPM with the surgical wound aspect (SWA) and pain management after TKA was analysed.Methods. We randomized 210 patients, 102 patients in the CPM group, who received a standard rehabilitation protocol together with CPM application; and 108 patients in the no-CPM group, without CPM. Variables as knee motion (flexion, extension, range of motion) and pain was measured before surgery, on the 1s, 2nd and 3rd postoperative day, and in the 2nd, 6th, 12th and 24th postoperative weeks following TKA. The SWA was determined by the “surgical wound aspect score” (SWAS) in the next 48 hours after surgery. This scale analyses swelling, erythema, haematoma, blood drainage and blisters. Results. There was an improvement in the knee motion over the course of follow-up in both groups, without significant difference in flexion parameter. We found no significant differences in the total score of SWA, except for haematoma, with less severity in the CPM group. Furthermore, we found no differences in the others SWAS parameters and pain. Conclusions. The application of CPM does not provide benefit to our patients undergoing TKA in terms of either improved flexion mobility or decreased pain. No relationship was found between the use of CPM and the global score of SWA following a TKA, except for a decrease in haematoma appearance.

Abstract Background and Purpose. The primary purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to determine which method of mobilization—(1) standardized exercises (SE) and continuous passive motion (CPM), (2) SE and slider board (SB) therapy, using an inexpensive, nontechnical device that requires minimal knee active range of motion (ROM), or (3) SE alone—achieved the maximum degree of knee ROM in the first 6 months following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The secondary purpose was to compare health-related quality of life among these 3 groups. Subjects. The subjects were 120 patients (n=40/group) who received a TKA at a teaching hospital between June 1997 and July 1998 and who agreed to participate in the study. Methods. Subjects were examined preoperatively, at discharge, and at 3 and 6 months after surgery. The examination consisted of measurement of knee ROM and completion of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Results. The 3 treatment groups were similar with respect to age, sex, and diagnosis at the start of the study. There were no differences in knee ROM or in WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index or SF-36 scores at any of the measurement intervals. The rate of postoperative complications also was not different among the groups. Discussion and Conclusion. When postoperative rehabilitation regimens that focus on early mobilization of the patient are used, adjunct ROM therapies (CPM and SB) that are added to daily SE sessions are not required. Six months after TKA, patients attain a satisfactory level of knee ROM and function.
