Abstract

Sudeck's syndrome occurs as a late complication of various types of trauma, usually after a fracture. It can also occur after injury, soft tissue contusion, or dislocation of joints, most commonly occurs after a fracture of the hand and foot, leg and forearm, often at lower than the upper limbs. Usually diagnosed late and starting physical therapy, which in some cases can lead to so-called. 'Functional amputation' of the extremities. Treatment of diseases is long and expensive, long absences from work. It is necessary to think of this complication from the time of diagnosis of fractures and injuries. Physical therapy should be included from the start of treatment of fractures, especially if it is a cumbersome and complex trauma.
