Abstract
No Minnesota workers' compensation claims have been filed for permanent partial disability benefits with a diagnosis of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). A cross-sectional study was undertaken to evaluate 519 compensation claimants following carpal tunnel surgery. Workers with significant vibration exposure and symptoms compatible with HAVS were identified within the group. The results show that some workers are not diagnosed as having HAVS even though they meet the diagnostic criteria. This suggests that HAVS should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a worker presents with neural and/or vascular symptoms of the hands and fingers.
