  • Title: Dupuytren's Contracture.
    Author: Lurati AR.
    Journal: Workplace Health Saf; 2017 Mar; 65(3):96-99. PubMed ID: 28068478.
    Abstract:
    Dupuytren's disorder is considered a genetic disorder and therefore not covered under workers' compensation. Personal risk factors include workers of Northern European descent and workers that are older than 50 years. However, new evidence has shown that certain occupational activities may increase the risk of developing this disorder. This article is a review of the literature with a case study. Work-related and personal risk factors are explored, as well as interventions and return to work recommendations.
