Abstract

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy of the knee has been studied in a series of 19 patients. Those diagnosed and treated early (at less than six months) did much better than those diagnosed and treated late. Nevertheless, when these patients were followed up at an average of 3.4 years from onset, not one was completely normal to objective tests with the Cybex II dynameter, an indication of the adverse prognosis with current methods of treatment.
