Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Holden

838 P.2d 643, 115 Or. App. 390, 1992 Ore. App. LEXIS 1759

Opinion

PER CURIAM

In this workers’ compensation case, employer seeks review of an order of the Board affirming the referee’s decision to allow claimant’s claim for a knee injury. Employer argues that the Board erred in finding that the cause of the injury was work-related and in determining that the claim was supported by objective medical findings. ORS 656.005(7)(a), (19).

Substantial evidence supports the Board’s finding that the knee injury was work-related. Additionally, the Board found that claimant’s doctor noted claimant’s subjective complaints of sharp pain, a catching sensation, particularly with twisting motions and, also, “notable patellar crepitus” in response to motion and internal rotation. The doctor’s report constitutes objective findings. Georgia-Pacific Corp. v. Ferrer, 114 Or App 471, 835 P2d 949 (1992).

Employer’s remaining argument does not require discussion.

Affirmed.
