 Figure Legend:
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy usually results in swelling, stiffness,
disuse, color and temperature changes. The entire hand is usually
affected (1,2), less commonly a single digit (3). Dupuytren's type
contractures are common (4). This may follow elective surgery, but is
most often seen after injury, such as a distal radius fracture (5).
