Informed Decision-Making Regarding Amputation for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type I.
CONCLUSIONS: Informed decision-making regarding amputation for CRPS-I remains a complex process for which little evidence is available to support patient choices; patient-specific outcomes are not predictable. However, amputation should not be ignored as a treatment option for long-standing therapy-resistant CRPS-I.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence. PMID: 24897741 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
