ABSTRACT
We analysed 60 cases of algodystrophy admitted in the rheumatology department of the university hospital of Monastir. We used a univariate analysis to search the factors associated with the disease evolution. Our patients were 40 males and 20 females. The mean age was 51.6 years [16-81]. The traumatisation was the dominant cause [46.7% of the cases]. Calcitonines were used in 70% of the cases. Functional results at one year were satisfying and not satisfying in 62.5% and 37.5% of the cases, respectively. The primitive algodystrophy was associated with a satisfying result. Sequella were observed in 10.5% of the cases. The primitive algodystrophy was associated with a satisfying result. Algodystrophy remain a benign disease and the best treatment remains the preventive one mainly in traumatic and orthopaedic circumstances
