Summary
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type 1 is a pain syndrome that develops after a trauma,
surgery, or idiopathically. The incidence after distal radius varies significantly in the
literature. There are known contributing factors, such as the female sex but no effective
treatment or prophylactic method. This study aims to investigate vitamin C's efficacy in
preventing CRPS type 1 following distal radius fractures, as the literature states that it
might play a role in prophylaxis.
