And why is the carpet all wet, TODD?

I don't KNOW, Margo!

@JosephDKnowles @LenMacPT @WeFixKnees Part of our reasoning for using the CPM is for the motion, but by keeping the leg elevated and limiting the patient’s time up on their feet, they don’t get a big effusion and therefore can still contract their quad/lift their leg when they do PT exercises and walk to the bathroom

@agordon55 We have our patients do a 1 min stretch in the machine to 120 max and heel slides to get more active motion. Then after the first week, we switch to more active stretching. We have great results due to limiting swelling more than anything else.

@agordon55 We use CPM’s on all of our ACL’s, TKA’s, and patella realignments. Our protocol is 1 week modified bed rest - they are in the CPM from 0-30 deg except for going to the bathroom and other exercises they do 3 times a day.

The right graft for ACL reconstruction remains controversial. Donald Shelbourne MD has pioneered the contralateral BTB autograft. @Anthony_YuMD welcomes @kdshelbourne & Clinical Researcher @baumandpt from the Shelbourne Knee Center @WeFixKnees to discuss! https://t.co/wG5jcCkUbz

[Sarah Eaton, PT, DPT, ATC @SarahAEaton]

@LenMacPT We keep TKA pts overnight to make sure their pain is well controlled. No nerve block. Pts are on bed rest in a CPM machine with a cryocuff on except for bathroom privileges and doing PT exercises 3 times a day. Pts are called on a regular basis for the 1st week to monitor them

@naptownkidz @LenMacPT @RyanHessMD @Orthopedic_MD @charleston_doc We recorded subsequent ACL injuries within 5 years of their initial surgery. I presented this information at CSM in 2020, so it is not published data, but I attached the poster of this platform with the data

[Sarah Eaton, PT, DPT, ATC @SarahAEaton]

@LenMacPT @RyanHessMD @Orthopedic_MD @charleston_doc I would disagree. I presented data at CSM 2 years ago that when looking at pts <18, the avg RTS time was just over 5 months post op, with 2/3 of pts returning <6 months and there was no difference in the rates of retears if pts returned before or after 6 months

@kschu86 @kcrehabguy The surgeons I work for in Indy use contra BPTB for primary ACLR’s and our rehab protocol consists of strengthening the “graft knee” first until symmetry is achieved, then work on getting both legs back to pre op #’s. It’s not uncommon for pts to regain symmetry as soon as 2 mon
