The paper presents the results of a prospective trial to examine the natural history of early reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). Thirty patients with post-traumatic RSD of the hand were observed without treatment. They were reassessed 1, 2 and 6 months after diagnosis with a final assessment at 10 to 18 months (average 13 months). Twenty-seven patients completed the study. Three were withdrawn during the study because of persistence of signs and symptoms of RSD and were given further treatment. Of the 27 patients who completed the study, only one showed sufficient features of the condition to warrant the diagnosis of mild RSD. In the remaining 26, most features of RSD had resolved spontaneously. Pain and swelling disappeared more quickly than other features of RSD. Although the signs and symptoms of RSD had largely gone at 13 months, the hands were still functionally impaired because of weaker grip strength.

Traumatic Arthritis

Shoulder metallosis with giant cell tumor formation is rarely seen in shoulder surgery. With an increase in shoulder arthroplasty and complex revision shoulder surgeries, clinicians should have an index of suspicion for possible metallosis in patients that presents with unexplained persistent pain with metal components on both the glenoid and humeral side. This case describes a 43-yearold female with a history of six prior shoulder surgeries who presented with shoulder metallosis and giant cell tumor formation after a screw from her open Latarjet procedure began rubbing against her Hemicap implant. She successfully underwent a revision total shoulder arthroplasty for post traumatic arthritis with pectoralis major transfer for her chronic subscapularis rupture and had complete symptom resolution.
