title: [Aseptic bone infarcts in occupational divers].
abstract: A report is given on dispensary investigations of professional divers. In 32 of a control group consisting of altogether 41 scaphander divers radiologically were found changes in the sense of aseptic bone necroses. 18 of the examined persons showed polyostotic affection and 14 had a monostotic localisation of the foci. Divers with no extensive findings could further work in their profession with a limitation of depth up to 13 depth of water. On the other hand examined persons with severe changes had temporarily to leave their profession. Relevant problems of the clinical symptomatology and the radiological differential diagnostics of aseptic bone necroses are discussed.
