Different patterns of extension and recurrence in algodystrophy

A true recurrence at exactly the same site is quite unusual in algodystrophy. Local or regional extension is possible. The bone scan is an easy way to demonstrate that the areas successively affected are not the same. An apparent local recurrence could in fact be a microscopic compression fracture o...
