I had one closed reduction surgery that had an end result of RSD. I had a malpractice attorney look into it, and even though my wrist was not set straight, their expert witness said the dr still met the acceptable std of care so the case was dropped. I think the std of care should be raised, but no one will listen to me. I'm not a doctor, just the victim. I'm still glad I tried to prove he messed up, but it still stinks that my case was dropped. If you do decide to file suit, I hope you have better luck than I did. Take care.
