Narrative

While walking on uneven ground, the IP had stepped on a rock that had rolled over and allowed his leg (Knee) to hyper extend, and then landed on his backside. At the time the IP felt some pain in the knee but the pain dissipated and he thought no injury had occurred until a few days later the pain returned. It was later determined the IP compressed the meniscus in his right knee.
