Its main objectives are to serve as a meeting point for people diagnosed with this pathology and divulge the work of Dr. Piñal about it.
Piñal y Asociados has launched an online information and consultation group for patients diagnosed with Sudeck’s atrophy, linked to its corporate space on Facebook. This group has as main goals to serve as a meeting and doubts resolution point for people with this diagnosis and divulge the work of Dr. Piñal in this regard, through the dissemination of medical articles, clinical cases or patient testimonials, among other contents.
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy, Sudeck’s atrophy or complex regional pain arise as a very painful chronic musculoskeletal condition that affects the upper limb with special intensity. It produces joint stiffness, with little mobility, burning sensation together with cutaneous hypersensitivity, strong inflammation (due to the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues), redness, sweating, etc., a picture that significantly limits the daily activity of the patient.
It can occur at any age, but it is more frequent in women between 40 and 60 years old, although this diagnosis is increasingly raised among young people. For its control, powerful analgesic and neuromodulatory drugs that reduce pain are used, among the latter some employed in psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, etc. such as anticonvulsants, antidepressants and antipsychotics.
Dr. Piñal does not consider Sudeck’s atrophy a pathology per se, but rather a diagnostic formula that masks an unidentified origin of the patient’s real problems, which appear after an intervention, a fracture or an infectious process, among other precedent pictures.
Thus, more than a century after its description as “acute inflammatory bone atrophy” by the German surgeon Paul Südeck, Dr. Piñal and his surgical unit have already cured dozens of patients with this diagnosis, through a clinical approach that goes through the re-evaluation of the case and, sometimes, also by surgery, which in expert hands produces spectacular results.
It’s a surgical procedure that requires a thorough prior analysis and great experience and technique to rule out, locate and address the source of a problem that has gone unnoticed for other surgeons.
Born in Santander, northern Spain, in 1960, Dr Francisco del Piñal is considered one of the world’s best hand surgeons. His contributions in the fields of microsurgical toe to hand transfer or arthroscopic surgery techniques on wrist fractures are endorsed and used internationally.
