References

• The aim of conservative treatment is to maintain the range of motion of the extremity, to strengthen the remaining functional muscles, to protect the denervated dermatomes, and to manage pain.
• Keeping the extremity raised and splitting and tensile banding may decrease edema.
• This should be followed by physiotherapy otherwise stiffness may be the final outcome, especially in the hand.
• NSAIDs and opioid drugs help us during the first stages but do not appear to help with neuropathic pain, which requires careful use of antiepileptic drugs (gabapentin and carbamazepine) or antidepressants such as amitriptyline.
