Narrative

Employee was bolting with a jack leg when a rock came down from about 5' and struck him on the top of his left foot. At first was thought to be just a bruise and he was given a full release, but after the x-rays were examined by a radiologist 2 days later it was determined there was a minimally displaced fracture of the navicular and a restricted duty release was issued.
