Complex regional pain syndrome after hand surgery
Hand Clin.
2010 May.
Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after an emergent or elective upper extremity surgery may complicate recovery, delay return to work, diminish health-related quality of life, and increase the likelihood of poor outcomes and/or litigation. CRPS after hand surgery is not uncommon and may complicate postoperative care. Early diagnosis and treatment of CRPS is critical for optimal patient outcomes. This article discusses the diagnosis, physiology, and management of postsurgical CRPS that occurs after hand surgery.
