Abstract
A case of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) after total hip replaceme nt (THR) is reported. It is a very unusual cause of pain after any art hroplasty procedure. Three-phase bone imaging diagnosed the condition and sympathetic blockade was used for confirming and treating the cond ition. The role of the bone scan in differentiating RSD from other cau ses of pain after THR is highlighted.
