title: [Analysis of occupational disease number 70--expert assessment in the Dresden district--results and conclusions].
abstract: 100 cases of occupational disease 70--expertises from the years 1982 through 1986--were reviewed. Partly, considerable deficiences were found in hygienic exposure analyses as well as in orthopaedic expertises. About one third of the workers with acknowledged occupational disease 70 had fitness relevant occupational independent pre-damage of the spine. From the results conclusions were drawn for the prospective processing of the occupational disease 70 as well as for the fitness evaluation of workers with heavy physical work.
