There is still a controversial discussion in literature about the use of motor driven splints in knee surgery--as the principle of continuous passive motion, CPM. For this reason it seemed useful for an evaluation to look through the papers which were published since 1990. It was obvious, that negative results were published often before this year, but this papers are still quoted standard works. In medical data bases subito-doc.de, medscape.com, medica.de and zbmed.de 230 papers were found by search CPM, continuous passive motion and arthromot. Coincidentally there was a search for authors who were already quoted in other papers. 36 papers concerning CPM after knee surgery were utilized. The role of CPM regarding the range of motion, swelling, duration of hospital stay, use of analgesics, costs, postoperative manipulations, wound healing and thrombo embolic complications was evaluated. Although the results of this partial retrospective, partial prospective, sometimes randomized or double blinded studies are in contradiction, there can only be found a trend to better results. New clinical studies for evidence based guidelines in the handling of continuous passive motion after knee surgery are necessary.
Quantitative analysis of facial volume is important in the assessment of facial swelling. Previous research has demonstrated that the Fiore trade mark light-structured 3-D range camera is a rapid, non-invasive, and safe imaging technology for the quantitative analysis of facial morphology. The development of the Rugle-3D trade mark volumetric measurement software programme has allowed for the development of a powerful imaging and measurement system. This study aimed to determine the accuracy and reproducibility of Fiore trade mark by measuring simulated facial swelling. A model involving 20 human subjects was devised to simulate facial swelling for image acquisition and measurement in order to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of the device. A systematic error of 1.25% and reproducibility of 3.27% was determined for the imaging system. It is concluded that Fiore trade mark is an accurate and reproducible technology that is sensitive and would be applicable to clinical studies of facial swelling.
