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.

Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome of the Hand With Simultaneous Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Ulnar Nerve Neuropathy: A Clinical Case Report.

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is a reversible form of compartment syndrome that occurs with exertion and is relieved with rest. Chronic exertional compartment syndrome most commonly occurs in the lower leg and has only rarely been reported in the hand. We report a case of exertional compartment syndrome in the left hand of a 37-year-old male heavy equipment technician with concurrent carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy.
