Computed tomography examinations have been made in 12 patients with posttraumatic algodystrophy. Significant differences of sides were found to be a measure of demineralisation by CT densitometry. 7 patients could be repeatedly examined during up to 60 weeks after the trauma. CT-integrated densitometry enables to quantify the process of de- and remineralisation and to objectify the disease according to the spongiosa bone. It seems to be possible to value the process of mineralisation by this method.

D012019 Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy A syndrome characterized by severe burning pain in an extremity accompanied by sudomotor, vasomotor, and trophic changes in bone without an associated specific nerve injury. This condition is most often precipitated by trauma to soft tissue or nerve complexes. The skin over the affected region is usually erythematous and demonstrates hypersensitivity to tactile stimuli and erythema.
