[Meniscopathy as occupational disease (author's transl)]. 1975

R Andreesen, and W Schramm

Meniscopathy develops through internal causes alone without any external influence. Work such as that of a miner underground, which is associated with particular strain on the knee joint may aggravate this disorder. If such work has been carried out for at least 3 years, an occupational disease is to be assumed. If the complaint only makes its appearance 5 years after ending injurious work, the causal connection must be assessed critically, taking into account age, duration of work and the results of microscopic investigations.
