In one case, a patient randomized to the cast group developed posttraumatic complex regional pain syndrome. No delay of fracture union was observed in this patient. This patient was referred to our specialized pain clinic and treated with amitriptyline after which she reached a pain-free state approximately one month after completion of follow-up.
