Knee injuries are very common on the jobsite. Individuals who sustain serious knee injuries sometimes require a total knee replacement. If that surgery is deemed to be reasonable and medically necessary, and if it is related to the job injury, the workers' compensation carrier should be required to pay for the procedure.
