Article Synopsis
- - An 11-year-old girl treated for a low-grade ankle sprain developed severe ankle pain and symptoms typical of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) Type 1 after starting to put weight on her foot again.
- - During the examination, doctors discovered she also had chromhidrosis, an unusual condition where the skin can produce colored sweat, in the affected area.
- - The study suggests that recognizing skin discoloration in CRPS patients can be crucial for early diagnosis and better treatment outcomes, highlighting the need for further evaluation of chromhidrosis alongside CRPS.
Background: Hip length discrepancy (HLD) is common after total hip arthroplasty (THA); however, the effect of spinal fusion on perceived leg length discrepancy (LLD) symptoms after THA has not been examined. This study tested the hypothesis that LLD symptoms are increased in patients who underwent lumbar spinal fusion and THA, compared with patients with THA only.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 67 patients who underwent lumbar spinal fusion and THA, along with 78 matched control patients who underwent THA only.
