Multidisciplinary Management of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Type 1 in the Hand and Wrist: A Case Report.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a rare disorder that presents as a highly variable combination of intense regional pain, autonomic and vasomotor disturbances that are uncharacteristic of the inciting trauma or event. We report a 36-year-old male construction worker who presented to the orthopedic department status post crush injury to his hand, with acutely increasing right-hand pain, swelling, skin/hair changes, and dysfunction. Presentation changed over a course of 2-8 weeks, with CRPS becoming the eventual working diagnosis.
