ABSTRACT
A multidisciplinary approach for the management of reflex sympathetic dystrophy at SOS Main of Strasbourg has been progressively adopted due to the severe functional sequelae of this disease. The TC99 bone scan in three phases has allowed us after a one week duration of the symptoms to make an early diagnosis and to start dynamic splinting in flexion. Our study compares two groups of patients, one with an early treatment and the other with delayed treatment. It shows a correlation between the stiffness of the affected hand and the isotopic findings. The benefit from an early dynamic splinting in flexion as evidenced by a clinical improvement is corroborated by the bone scan.
