Narrative

IE said while hanging miner cable with a co-worker, the tie wire broke so IE reached to catch the cable with left hand. IE continued to work but noticed that hand/arm felt different. Note: This employee had a previous injury to the left hand/arm (tear to distal bicep) that required surgery to repair. Surgical repair was performed again following this re-injury.
