## Narrative

Employee was on his knees measuring cut.  When he stood up, he twisted to avoid hitting the saw bar (not running).  When he did this there was a ""pop"" in his knee.  He tried to walk it off.  After going home and resting a couple hours, it was hard to walk and it makes a popping noise when he does walk.
