Abstract
A study of 129 consecutive patients, who had a total of 145 inguinal hernias, showed that in only 7% of the patients was the hernia subjectively attributable to a single muscular strain. Guidelines are suggested to assist in assessing 'cause' in claims for industrial injury in such patients.Entities:
