RESUMEN
The article presents results proving significant advantage of ultrasound examination vs. X-ray contrast myography in diagnosis of occupational myofibrosis early stages. The authors recommend implementation of thi s method into medical examination practice for better diagnosis of occuptional myofibrosis to objectify decision on linking the disease with occupation.

Based on comparative analysis of contemporary clinical and instrumental investigations, the authors justify advantage of ultrasound examination in diagnosis of occupational myofibrosis. Results of ultrasound application helped to specify a classification of occupational myofibrosis according to the disease severity, that considerably increases efficiency of examining connection between the disease and occupation.

Occupational chronic myofibrosis is a disease resulting from physical overstrain and functional overload of upper extremities and shoulder girdle and beeing the most prevalent occupational diseases related to the so-called "working hand". Myofibrosis occur among persons employed actually in all industries, building and agriculture and may develop as an isolated disease or combined with other occupational diseases of musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous systems. Today problems of diagnostics, especially at the early stage of the disease, and the development of knew methods of treatment are still topical.
