Outcomes of CPM Usage Following Arthroscopic Acetabular Labral Repair
Outcomes of CPM Usage Following Arthroscopic Acetabular Labral Repair
The purpose of this study is to measure whether CPM (continuous passive motion) usage
 improves outcomes following arthroscopic hip surgery that includes labral repair.
 Investigators tested the hypothesis that CPM usage reduces pain levels and pain medication
 use and improves function in individuals who undergo hip arthroscopy.
Subjects undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral repair were randomized to
 determine whether they would receive a CPM. Those subjects receiving a CPM were instructed to
 use it for 4-6 hours daily throughout the first two postoperative weeks. The total number of
 pain medications and average pain scores over the two weeks, as well as Hip Outcome Score
 Activity of Daily Living (HOS ADL) scores at standard time points were compared via a two
 sample t-test and intention-to-treat analysis.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  undergoing hip arthroscopy to repair a torn labrum

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  pregnancy

 -  revision surgery

 -  bilateral surgery
