OBJECTIVE In a prospective study the value of the three-phase bone scintigraphy in the early diagnosis of Sudeck's atrophy was analysed. METHODS 137 patients with the clinical suspicion on Sudeck's atrophy in stage I were examined. By means of the clinical course and additional examinations (block response), pain experts confirmed the diagnosis separately. RESULTS With the findings of hyperperfusion of all 5 phalanges, homogeneous hyperaemia of the affected hand or the foot and periarticular increased uptake of the whole extremity a reliable diagnosis of Sudeck's atrophy was possible. The sensitivity was 95.9%, the specificity 100%. With bone scintigraphy Sudeck's atrophy could be clearly differentiated from an inactivity atrophy. CONCLUSIONS Three-phase bone scintigraphy is an excellent tool for the objective diagnosis of Sudeck's atrophy in stage I.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

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.

D004164 Diphosphonates Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents.
