## Narrative

After loading a truck, the employee was walking back to the scale room and stepped on a clinker and injured his foot.  He went to the doctor two days later and was informed he had a hairline fracture, but no treatment was necessary.  At a follow up 6 weeks later, it had not healed and it was determined that surgery would be necessary.
