About this trial
The investigators will directly compare the visual analog scale scores and narcotic pain medication requirements in the patients who have continuous passive motion (CPM) versus those who do not during the course of the hospital admission following an open reduction internal fixation surgery for acetabular fracture, supracondylar femur fracture, or a tibial plateau fracture.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
VAS Pain Score
Pain will be assessed by the patient on a scale of 1-10 during hospitalization. 1=no pain; 10=worst pain
Time frame
Visual Analog Score for pain will be recorded daily after the surgery each day until the patient is discharged or up to 365 days..Secondary outcomes
1
SF-12
The Short Form 12 (SF-12) uses just 12 questions to measure functional health and well-being from the patient's point of view. An algorithm is used to generate the physical and mental health composite scores for comparison to normative data. The mean score is set to 50. Scores \>50 indicate better physical or mental health than to mean. Scores \<50 indicate worse physical or mental health than the mean.
Time frame
This score will be completed at the one-year post-operative visit.Sponsors and contacts
