  • Title: Vibration white finger.
    Author: Boyle JC, Smith NJ, Burke FD.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Br; 1988 May; 13(2):171-6. PubMed ID: 2968430.
    Abstract:
    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.
