There is current evidence that indicates that CPM (continuous passive motion) machines are not effective in more desired outcomes in uncomplicated knee replacements. I haven't see any literature about the use of machines in more problematic knees. The biggest issue is that the machine is passive and active motion is always preferred over passive for lots of reasons.
