[X-ray changes in the osteoarticular system in sawyers].
X-ray test of the osteo-articular system of upper limbs was carried out on 1231 saweyers and 272 controls as well as 50 intellectuals. Three x-ray tests were carried out on 207 sawyers and on a control group of 95 workers, to assess the progression of osseous changes. The same types od changes were found in sawyers and control group workers; besides similar frequency in the examined parts of the upper limb was found in them. The most frequent changes are: osseous cyst, osteoporosis degenerative-deformative changes and calcar of the ulnar.
