The patient, Camelia, 46, who works as a cook, suffers from very intense pain, lack of function and numbness in her dominant hand, the left; all diagnosed as reflex sympathetic dystrophy or Sudeck’s atrophy. After several months, she attends the clinic of Dr. Piñal who cures her, after accurately identifying the pathology of origin and performing a minimally invasive procedure.

The problem

The symptomatology that leads Camelia to look for Dr. Piñal appears acutely after an operation to free the carpal tunnel. Subsequently, her situation becomes a diagnosis of reflex sympathetic dystrophy or Sudeck’s atrophy, addressed by his previous medical team with the prescription of analgesic and neuromodulatory drugs to reduce pain; among the latter some used in psychiatric, epileptic pictures, etc., as anticonvulsants

In his initial contacts with Dr. Piñal, the patient describes her pain as sensations of skin which tears apart, burning feeling, literally “it’s burning me”, she affirms. All of this adding to the already mentioned great limitations of function in the left upper limb.

The goals

Dr Piñal considers that “there is overwhelming practical evidence that posttraumatic sympathetic reflex dystrophy and the neurostenalgies and compressions of the median nerve constitute the same type of pathology, but with different triggers”

Therefore, this leads him to consider Sudeck’s atrophy as a non-existent pathology that actually masks the true origin of the problem. Thus his approach to Camelia’s case goes through a correct filiation or diagnosis and the design of a surgical procedure suitable to it.

The plan

On this occasion, the correct diagnosis already indicated has to lead to an intervention that restores the functionality of the patient’s hand and eliminates the pain, with a minimal aesthetic impact on the affected area, in addition.

The results

Dr. Piñal identifies the origin of Camelia’s clinical picture as a pathology of secondary compression of the median nerve, not detected in the release of the carpal tunnel that was performed more than 8 months ago. Therefore he discards reflex sympathetic dystrophy as a trigger.

From this point, the Spanish surgeon performs a minimally invasive intervention with immediate results, which already allow to observe improvements in mobility on the operating table itself. Thanks to the procedure performed, the patient regains mobility in her left hand and suspends the intake of drugs against pain, which disappears.
