OBJECTIVE: Although complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) of the knee is comparable to CRPS of the ankle/foot at time of diagnosis, no reports are available concerning the course of knee CRPS. Therefore, this study investigated the clinical course in terms of the symptoms and signs, health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), and work status of patients diagnosed with CRPS of the knee.
DESIGN: Observational, descriptive study.
SETTING: Single-center study.
SUBJECTS: Patients with CRPS of the knee.
METHODS: Patients self-reported their past and current CRPS symptoms, HR-QoL, and work status; all underwent a physical examination. A comparison was made of changes in symptoms over time between patients with CRPS of the knee and those with CRPS of more distal locations.
RESULTS: In total, 32 patients were enrolled. The follow-up time was 11.5 ± 6.29 years since diagnosis, and symptoms and signs showed a significant decrease over time. Twelve patients (37.5%) rated their health as (generally) positive. Patients who were still able to work (31.3%) stated that their physical health gave them at least some problems in the performance of their job. A change in symptoms occurred significantly less often in CRPS of the knee.
CONCLUSIONS: CRPS of the knee changes in terms of symptoms over time, but significantly less than CRPS of other locations. A change in work status was reported in 82% of the patients due to their CRPS, and in 91%, the pain interfered with their daily life. CRPS of the knee is a painful condition with persistent symptoms causing a diminished HR-QoL.
