A 31-month follow-up study on the incidence of clinically ascertained tenosynovitis or peritendinitis in the hand and forearm regions and epicondylitis was conducted among 377 workers in strenuous manual jobs and 338 employees in manually nonstrenuous work in a large meat-processing factory. The clinical diagnosis of tenosynovitis or peritendinitis occurred 143 times and epicondylitis 68 times during the follow-up. The annual incidence of tenosynovitis or peritendinitis was less than 1% for employees in nonstrenuous jobs, 25.3% for female packers, 16.8% for female sausage makers, and 12.5% for male meatcutters. The annual incidence of epicondylitis was about 1% for employees in nonstrenuous jobs, 11.3% for female sausage markers, 7.0% for female packers, and 6.4% for male meatcutters. Workers typically resumed their jobs after returning from sick leave, and job transfers were rare.
在一家大型肉类加工厂，对377名从事高强度体力工作的工人和338名从事非高强度体力工作的员工进行了为期31个月的随访研究，以了解手部和前臂区域临床确诊的腱鞘炎或肌腱周围炎以及肱骨外上髁炎的发病率。随访期间，腱鞘炎或肌腱周围炎的临床诊断出现了143次，肱骨外上髁炎出现了68次。非高强度工作的员工中，腱鞘炎或肌腱周围炎的年发病率低于1%，女性包装工为25.3%，女性香肠制作工为16.8%，男性切肉工为12.5%。肱骨外上髁炎的年发病率，非高强度工作的员工约为1%，女性香肠制作工为11.3%，女性包装工为7.0%，男性切肉工为6.4%。工人病愈后通常会重返工作岗位，很少有人会调岗。
