Narrative

An employee was walking around a patient bed when her left leg slipped on liquid and left her in a splits position. She did not fall, and prevented herself from falling by grabbing the bedside rail. The employee sustained tearing of the anterosuperior labrum, partial tearing and tendinosis at the distal/insertional gluteus minimus tendon, and a strain of the distal iliopsoas muscle/tendon with bursitis adjacent to the lesser trochanter.
