“…Even though its true prevalence is uncertain, telephone operators, drivers, workers in the shoe industry, a bamboo toy factory, a factory that makes surgical suture thread, and those who handle vibratory tools, and other tools, or who maintain the same position for an extended period, like plumbers, are among the more vulnerable groups 2,3 .…”

Background: Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (CBTS) is a condition when the ulnar nerve is compressed, usually at the elbow level passing behind the humerus’s medial epicondyle. Its prevalence in the plumbing population is unknown. In the population of plumbers, their occupation may put them at increased risk due to the repetitive motions and prolonged use of the elbow joint, thus there is a need to find prevalence of CBTS in plumbers. Material and Methods: In all, 88 plumbers were involved in this cross-sectional study, and everyone was taken for the study according to their age greater than 35 years and having working experience of at least 1 year. A method for diagnosing cubital tunnel syndrome was a patient-rated ulnar nerve evaluation scale. Result: 88 plumbers participated in this cross-sectional survey. 12.5% of the 88 plumbers that were surveyed had Cubital Tunnel Syndrome symptoms. Conclusion: The prevalence of suggestive diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome was 12.5% and was higher in plumbers working more than 10 years.

Background Intervertebral disc changes are a multi-factorial problem whose main clinical feature is pain. Studies show that when clinical treatments fail, the proposed surgical treatments frequently present unsatisfactory results. Traditional lumbar arthrodesis causes important clinical and functional changes that can result in complications and jeopardize the patients’ quality of life. Objectives This study aims to investigate the clinical and functional results of minimally invasive spine surgery in patients with a clinical diagnosis of low-back or sciatic pain and segmental instability, finally correlating these results with the patients’ return to work. Methods Patients signed an informed consent form and were clinical and radiographically re-evaluated by independent professionals in the pre- and postoperative periods. Evaluation methods used the Oswestry disability index, as well as visual analog scale and Medical Outcomes Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores. We also retrieved epidemiological data, information on work resumption, and bone consolidation evaluations from the medical records. Results We evaluated 19 patients who had been operated on 33 levels; visual analog scale and Oswestry disability index scores were initially reduced from 10% to 2% and from 64% to 28%, respectively. SF-36 scores were significantly higher in 5 of the 7 questionnaire scales at the end of the follow-up period. Most patients (68.4%) did not return to work after surgery; the others returned 2 to 67 months after the procedure. All patients received social security benefits after the surgery. Conclusion Although the procedure presented positive results, it did not result in a satisfactory return-to-work rate. Our results should be analyzed in view of the low educational level and income of the patients, the manual nature of their labor, and the validity of social security benefits.
