Questão jurídica principal
Whether SUVA remained liable to pay accident-insurance benefits after 22 November 2009 for persistent knee complaints.
Decisão extraída
No. The later complaints were no longer causally linked to the accident; the status after meniscus resection/debridement did not establish continued accident causation.
Fundamentação extraída
The medical evidence showed that the meniscus lesion had been treated and that current pain was attributable to a pre-existing cartilage ulcer, not to the accident. Even if the post-debridement status were accident-related, the complaints were medically not explainable and suggested symptom amplification/self-limitation. Thus the natural causal link had fallen away (status quo sine).
