He continuously presents since 2006, tendon flexor injury in the right hand, valued by the service of prevention of occupational risks, receives treatment with poor clinical improvement and many recurrences. Since the above mentioned evolution, it was decided surgical intervention of the flexor tendon of 2nd finger of right hand with the diagnosis of Dupuytren's Disease. Later it is proposed to the National Institute of Health Service (INSS) an Occupational Disease, for a disorder derived from the occupational activity, which is admitted in 2007. For the multiple complications in spite of medical and surgical treatment and the days of sick leave in the company, the INSS proposes a permanent total incapacity for the usual profession, with favourable response. The analysis of the case, allows studying the evolution of pathologies in workers, relating the origin of the diseases with the occupational activity, emphasizing the courses of action if this suffering could be demonstrated as occupational disease.
