## Narrative

Employee was changing teeth on a loader bucket. One wouldn't come loose so he hit it with a hammer. A chip of steel came off the tooth and embedded in his left thigh. There was no initial treatment as the emergency room doctor recommended he leave it in place. A second opinion by a surgeon recommended removing it. He had it removed on 9/20/07.
