Abstract
35 patients who presented with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) are reported. Peripheral nerve compression was present in 86% of the patients (30). 50% of the patients (15) had a single nerve compression, and 50% had multiple nerve compressions. The high incidence of these entrapments should alert the clinician to check for this treatable problem early in the course of RSD.Keywords
