Case Reports[Ambulatory CT-assisted thoracic sympathetic block as an additional approach to treatment of complex regional pain syndromes after sport injuries].
Also after bagatelle trauma, some patients can develop a complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The limb concerned usually shows a marked temperature difference to the contralateral side. Apart from a doughy swelling, the patient is impaired in particular by burning pain and a restricted range of motion. The objective of the present study was to examine the influence of early thoracic sympathetic nerve blockade on the basis of clinical and quantified blood flow parameters. ⋯ Outpatient CT-assisted temporary sympathetic nerve blockade is an effective and low-complication therapeutic option for the supportive treatment of patients with CRPS.

[Safety requirements and risk factors of skiers and snowboarders].
Injuries in leisure sports, especially with skiers and snowboarders are a challenge for medicine as well as for economy. The risk of getting injured depends not only on the performed sport but also on the individual readiness to take a risk and the worn safety devices. ⋯ Our study shows a broad acceptance of safety devices in leisure sport. A lot of studies have proved the value of helmets to prevent injuries. The introduction of mandatory helmets at least for children and juveniles in alpine sports would be well accepted. Males show a significantly riskier behaviour on ski pistes than females. Efficient controls on ski pistes to avoid ruthless behaviour would be appreciated and declined by equal numbers.
