Supreme Court allows compensation for Sudeck's atrophy following a knee injury caused by an accident.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the claim for compensation regarding Sudeck's atrophy resulting from a knee injury sustained in an accident. The plaintiff argued that the specific medical condition constituted a distinct and compensable consequence of the trauma, while the defense likely contested the causal link or the extent of the damage. The court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, establishing that such secondary medical sequelae are legally compensable when directly caused by the initial injury.
