Case Reports[Complex regional pain syndrome of the knee: early and beneficial action of diphosphonates on pain and function].
We report the case of a 24-years-old man with parcellar Complex Regional Pain Syndrome I (CRPS I) of the patella, responsible for major functional limitation. The diagnosis was based on physical exam and X-ray, in the absence of other articular or peri-articular diseases. ⋯ He was therefore able to go back to work. The place of this treatment in CRPS I is discussed.
