Objective To explore the utility value of continuous passive motion in postoperative rehabilitation of comminuted fractures of ulnar olecranon. Methods A total of 122 patients with comminuted fractures of ulnar olecranon were included in the study for comparative experiments. The groups were divided by lottery. There were 61 patients in both the control group and the observation group. The former used conventional functional exercise methods, while the latter implemented continuous passive motion rehabilitation training programs. The actual application results of the two groups were analyzed and compared in depth. Results The relevant data in the experiment showed that the VAS scores of the elbow joints of the observation group were lower than those of the control group at 7 and 14 days after surgery. At the same time, compared with the control group, the elbow joint range of motion of the observation group was significantly higher at 7 days, 14 days and 3 months after surgery, and the total excellent rate of elbow joint function of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion Continuous passive motion rehabilitation training in the postoperative rehabilitation stage of patients with comminuted fractures of ulnar olecranon can effectively relieve their pain, effectively improve the range of motion of the elbow joint, and also have a positive effect on the improvement of elbow joint function.
