The occurrence of CRPS is the result of many factors. Elderly patients, females, and manual laborers had higher risks, with complex fractures and internal fixation surgery patients showing increased risk later on. Osteoporotic patients had higher risks in the mid to late postoperative period. VAS, DASH, GAD-7, and PHQ-9 scores were significantly associated with CRPS. Early physical and occupational therapy can effectively prevent CRPS, but further research is needed to evaluate their long-term effects.
