While I do not, or would not routinely monitor CRP in surgical patients, its role as indicator of general inflammation, and its characteristic rapid fluctuations seem consistent with a post operative period. Follow this link for some additinal info. www.haps.nsw.gov.au/edrsrch/edinfo/crp.html

I wonder if you the surgeons among you could help me. All other reasons
eliminated, can the C-Reactive Protein (CRP) be elevated during the period
of uncomplicated healing of a proximal phalangeal osteotomy? If this is
possible, is there any literature to support this?
Thanks for your replies
