Abstract

The effect of CPM after rorator cuff repair is unknown. The purpose of this study was to show our postoperative protocol with CPM following the repair of the rotator cuff and to investigate the outcome. 35 patients (12 females, 23 males; mean age 56.3, range 26 to 69) with 35 repaired rotator cuffs (2 massive, 28 small to large, 5 partial) were assigned to CPM postoperative therapy and were followed with a mean period of 36 months. Patients used a CPM for the first 6 weeks after the first postoperative day. After 6 weeks, active ROM exercises were performed. Using the JOA shoulder score, there were 88.6% excellent results, 5.7% good results, and 5.7% fair results. CPM postoperative therapy after the repair of the rotator cuff apparently produces favorable results.
