Occupational Disease | Lunatum malaria

Occupational Disease

Lunatum malactia is recognized as an occupational disease for certain occupational groups that work with tools with “primarily low frequency”, such as pneumatic hammers or soil compactors, and have been active in the field for at least two years. However, this occupational disease does not apply to normal, hand-held chisels. In case of doubt, you should ask your doctor whether recognition as an occupational disease is conceivable and also in case of doubt or suspicion of an occupational disease, an application should be filled out by the doctor.

Prophylaxis and prognosis

It is difficult to avoid this disease, especially if you work in a high-risk profession. However, since the disease can be completely cured if diagnosed in time, the earlier you see a doctor for wrist pain, the better your prognosis. Immobilization and waiting is then the motto.
