[Lower limb injury and Sudeck's syndrome].

The term Sudeck's case is traditionally and commonly used to describe after injury painful and swelling changes which are accompanied by radiographic symptoms like pain, swelling, colour changes and warm changes of the skin of the limbs, trophic changes of hair and nails and acute period, dystrophy and disappearance in neurologic and cardiologic, rheumatologic, internistic cases are present, therefore, different synonyms are possible such as: reflex sympathetic dystrophy, algodystrophy, acute Sudeck's osteoporosis etc. The Sudeck's set treatment is complicated. There are several main groups: 1) treatment concerning sympathetic set of the limb, 2) calcitonin, 3) physiotherapy, 4) corticosteroids, 5) sweepers of free oxygen and hydroxylic, 6) pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy and, 7) some other forms of treatment. On the basis of literature and my own experiences I paid special attention to the role of calcitonin, calcium compounds and physiotherapy in Sudeck's case treatment after lower injury extremities and I gave scheme of treating of this difficult illness.
