[Changes in the X-ray picture in Sudeckdistrophy after treatment with interferent current (author's transl)]

Treatment with interferent current has been applied to 150 patients having Sudeck dystrophy (in 133 cases developed after bone fractures,in 12 cases after distortion and luxation and in 5 cases after phlegmon etc.). It has been established that the normalization of the X-ray in Sudeck distrophy of the first degree takes about 30 days, in the second degree it goes in parallel with the clinical recovery and in the third degree it takes two to four months at an average. A great advantage of the interferent current treatment is that it can be applied as a dispensary treatment in delayed callus-formation and metal osteosynthesis.
