Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pain Management
  • Radiology

Context:

  • The foot is a common site for reflex sympathetic dystrophies (RSD), characterized by pain and vasomotor disturbances.
  • Clinical presentation includes early, nonspecific bone scan hyperfixation and characteristic X-ray findings of spotty or diffuse demineralization.

Purpose:

  • To outline the clinical presentation, diagnostic features, and therapeutic strategies for reflex sympathetic dystrophies affecting the foot.

Summary:

  • Reflex sympathetic dystrophies (RSD) frequently impact the foot, presenting with pain and altered circulation.
  • Diagnostic tools include bone scans showing early hyperfixation and X-rays revealing demineralization patterns.
  • Management involves drug therapy (e.g., calcitonin), rehabilitation adhering to a 'no pain' principle, and regional sympathetic blocks for refractory cases.
