A. Increased total arc of digital range of motion.

B. Decreased incidence of poor results. 

DISCUSSION: Continuous passive mobilization (CPM) causes a 16% improvement in range of digital motion compared to intermittent mobilization. The incidence of poor results is much lower (3% versus 26%) despite no postoperative ruptures or infections. Continuous passive mobilization appears to be a more effective yet safe means of improving postoperative function following flexor tendon injury.
