Abstract

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a devastating complication that is very difficult to treat. Whilst uncommon, the condition is frequently encountered by extremity surgeons. The author has considerable experience of dealing with CRPS and, with three clinical cases, will describe how the condition is diagnosed and treated. The very real clinical situation of timing for surgery in patients who have suffered from CRPS is also to be discussed.
