[Prophylactic plexus catheter treatment in operations following complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)].

 This paper investigates and discusses the effect of perioperative plexus catheter treatment in former CRPS patients. A retrospective matched-pair analysis was conducted on 10 CRPS patients with comparable injuries, who underwent surgery in the disease-free interval. In 10 cases, the procedure was performed with perioperative plexus catheter treatment (intervention group), whereas 10 patients did not receive perioperative plexus catheter treatment (control group).
