[Reflex dystrophy or occupational disease 2103 of the knee joint? A clinical and expert contribution to a "singular case"].

A "single case" is presented and the question is asked if a BK (occupational disease) can be applied in case of a dystrophy of the knee joint. With respect to the technical conditions according to the BK2103 and the employee, this BK had to be rejected because no active concussion had to be presumed, but a passive, only transmitted concussion. Therefore it has to be investigated if article 551, paragraph 2 of the RVO (Insurance Ordinance of the German Reich) can be applied. In opposition to the Social Court, I had recommended to apply article 551, paragraph 2 of the RVO, because there was a causal connection with respect to responsibility between the professional activity and the injury to health.
