  • Title: [Sudeck's disease after radius fracture].
    Author: Dürr W.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl II Verh Dtsch Ges Chir; 1990; ():693-9. PubMed ID: 1724203.
    Abstract:
    Clinical and radiological features of Sudeck's dystrophy following radius fracture are described. Peripheral and endogenous factors are pointed out. Therapy consists in preventing and alleviating pain by primary immobilisation combined with gentle physical therapy of the non-involved parts of both upper extremities. Calcitonin, non-steroid antirheumatic and anxiolytic drugs should be administered simultaneously. The physician's care and tolerance of the mentally upset and labile patient are essential. Physiotherapy plays a major role in the long-standing rehabilitation process.
