Narrative

Employee was hanging miner cable and stepped on a small piece of roof rock and felt pain in his left foot. There is no mechanism of injury due to the sole of the work boots being extremely thick. He has had no prior foot pain due to his pre-existing condition of having a cavovarus foot. He was taken off work on April 11, 2014.
