摘要: Sixty-four patients were evaluated prospectively for a reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS), using quantitative clinical measurements, high-resolution roentgenography and scintigraphy. Five separate groups identified by their features, allowing us to distinguish with definite or incomplete forms of the RSDS as well 16 other disorders. Scintigraphy was found be useful diagnostic study that may also provide method predicting therapeutic response. Systemic corticosteroid therapy proved highly effective mode treatment up 90 percent RSDS.
