Narrative

Employee was bending down and twisting to step down from an 18 wheeler trailer when he felt his left knee pop. This caused him to lose his balance, falling to the ground, landing on his feet. At that point, his knee gave out on him. He was diagnosed with lateral meniscus sprain and on 3/22/13 his duties were restricted.
