Narrative

While walking down an incline on a concrete floor the employee's foot slipped and pain developed in the right knee. He reported the incident and continued to work but the discomfort did not go away and he saw a doctor. A MRI showed a meniscus cyst on the outside of the right knee and orthoscopic surgery is scheduled. Post surgery will determine any restricted or lost work days.
