Continuous Passive Motion Following Fixation of Pelvic and Knee Fractures
This study is looking at whether using a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) device after surgery for certain bone fractures helps with pain. You could be eligible if you are 18 or older and have had surgery for an acetabular (hip socket), supracondylar femur (thigh bone), or tibial plateau (shin bone) fracture. The study will compare your pain levels using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and how much pain medication you need if you use CPM versus if you receive standard physical therapy. The goal is to see if CPM can reduce pain during your hospital stay. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a comparative study with 100 planned participants. You would be randomized into one of two groups: one using a CPM device or one receiving typical care.
- What's involved
- If in the CPM group, you would use the device for 2 hours on and 2 hours off while awake in bed, in addition to physical therapy 1-3 times a week. If in the control group, you would have typical physical therapy 1-3 times a week.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your pain will be measured daily until discharge or up to 365 days. Functional outcomes will be assessed at the one-year mark.

What this trial measures
- VAS Pain ScoreVisual Analog Score for pain will be recorded daily after the surgery each day until the patient is discharged or up to 365 days..
Pain will be assessed by the patient on a scale of 1-10 during hospitalization. 1=no pain; 10=worst pain
