Insurance court rules shoulder tendon inflammation compensable as direct consequence of workplace fall injury.

The Insurance Court of Finland allowed compensation for the employee's shoulder tendon inflammation, ruling it a direct consequence of the workplace accident. The employee suffered a shoulder injury from a fall in May 1980, followed by diagnosed inflammation in September 1980, which the insurer initially denied. The court determined that the inflammation was a natural and foreseeable medical progression of the original work-related trauma, thereby mandating coverage.
