Abstract
In this report we present a collaborative study performed by the physical-rehabilitation clinic and the rheumatology clinic at the University Hospital in Pleven, Bulgaria, regarding treatment of patients with algodystrophy syndrome after a distal radius fracture. 48 patients with algodystrophy syndrome after a distal radius fracture participated in the study. The complex therapy includes a drug treatment with calcitonin and a physiotherapeutic program: underwater gymnastics, kinesitherapy and electrotherapy using the magnetic fi eld and interferential current. A positive effect from the complex drug and physiotherapeutic treatment has been achieved in all the observed indicators, regardless of the patients’ age and sex.
