Yes wrist fracture was one study. But there are others too.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19840748
This one dealt with surgery on the ankle.

Trauma releases cytokines, which are chemical signal messengers to other systems. Antioxidants may be a brake on excessive cytokine release.

It is also interesting that Vit C was looked at for another neuropathy-- Charcot Marie Tooth type 1A. But results have not been as expected, based on animal studies. We may see more in that regard in the future.

Given that Vitamin C is easy to do, when an injury is fresh, I believe it is worth trying. If the RSD is already there, however, that would be a different scenario entirely.
