TY - JOUR T1 - X ray anomalies occurring in workers exposed to vibration caused by light tools. JF - British Journal of Industrial Medicine JO - Br J Ind Med SP - 137 LP - 141 DO - 10.1136/oem.41.1.137 VL - 41 IS - 1 AU - J Van den Bossche AU - D Lahaye Y1 - 1984/02/01 UR - http://oem.bmj.com/content/41/1/137.abstract N2 - A high frequency of radiological anomalies (vacuoles, cysts, enostoses) was found in workers exposed to vibration caused by light tools (screw drivers, nutrunners) compared with a non-exposed group. The lesions were mostly localised in the spongy carpal bones (os capitatum, os lunatum, os scaphoideum). There was no significant difference between the sexes, nor between the "active" or "passive" hand, both hands being simultaneously exposed. These findings support the need to implement preventive measures. ER -
