Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Decreased range of motion is common after fractures around the knee and can impact a patient's ability to perform activities of daily living such as rising from a seated position or getting in and out of a bathtub. A continuous passive motion (CPM) machine is a machine that continuously moves a joint (such as the knee) without the patient having to use the muscles in his/her leg. A goal of this therapy is to maintain as much motion as possible following this injury. This study is a randomized, prospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of CPM in maintaining knee range of motion following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of fractures around the knee

Inclusion Criteria

* If the patient has an intra-articular distal femur or proximal tibia fracture

* Any contraindication to CPM (concomitant hip or ankle fracture)
* Open physis of tibia or distal femur
* Pathological Fracture
* Compartment Syndrome
* Neurovascular injury
* Fracture due to gunshot wound
* Greater than 21 days from fracture to definitive open reduction and internal fixation
* Fractures treated with definitive external fixation
* Open fractures
* Extensor mechanism injuries
* Likely problems in the judgment of the investigator with maintaining follow-up
