    Abstract:
    The aim of this study is the evaluation of the therapeutic value of continuous passive motion after ACL replacement. After 41 ACL reconstruction in 13 cases only active motion, in 28 cases active motion and CPM were used postoperatively. Stability, the range of motion and complications were evaluated at the time of discharge, 3 and 6 months after the operation. The flexion-extension in the CPM group was significantly greater at the time of discharge, but this difference was practically eliminated in 6 months after the operation. There were not any other significant difference between the two groups. The CPM gives only a little advantage in the rehabilitation after the ACL replacement.
