Nineteen consecutive patients claiming compensation for vibration white finger were reviewed. The cold provocation test was found to be of no value in confirming a diagnosis of vibration white finger. Small cysts were apparent on the radiographs in 61% of patients' wrists but none had developed significant degenerative changes of the wrist or digits. In this group of claimants, 63% had carpal tunnel syndrome on nerve conduction studies.
对19名连续申请振动性白指赔偿的患者进行了复查。发现冷激发试验在确诊振动性白指方面没有价值。61%患者的腕部X光片上可见小囊肿,但无一例出现腕部或手指的明显退行性改变。在这组索赔者中,神经传导研究显示63%患有腕管综合征。
