[Bone lesions in vibration induced disease: radiological study (author's transl)].
The authors examined 52 miners affected by Raynaud's phenomenon caused by vibrating instruments, mainly checking the involvement of the osteoarticular system. They found, in the articulation of the upper limbs, in addition to generic signs of arthrosis, zones of bone reabsorption (vacuoles), especially as regard the wrist and hands, and irregularities of the tufts. The authors consider these lesions as important feature of the technopathy.
