[Operative therapy of chronic palmar luxation of the distal ulna in florid CRPS - two cases].

We present two cases of chronic palmar luxation of the distal ulna which entails the development of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Both cases have been finally treated with a hemiresection-interposition-arthroplasty of the distal radioulnar joint with perioperatively applied regional nerve block and i. v. administration of vitamin c. After surgical intervention function has improved and the CRPS symptomes subsided rapidly after few weeks. PMID: 30045371 [PubMed - in process]
