Description
The district court ordered payment of worker's compensation medical benefits for Oren Thomas Rupe more than four years after the last award. We affirm. Mr. Rupe injured his left knee at work on April 24, 1980, and underwent surgical procedures twice between 1980 and 1982 to correct the problem. On January 14, 1982, the district court awarded Mr. Rupe permanent partial disability benefits. All of Mr. Rupe's medical expense claims were paid through March 4, 1982. In 1986, it became apparent that the previous surgical procedure had failed and that further surgery was necessary to repair Mr. Rupe's knee. On November 17, 1986, Mr. Rupe filed his request that the expenses for the third surgery be paid. The employer and the worker's compensation division objected to payment of the claim on grounds that the claim was not timely and thus that the case should not be reopened under §§ 27-12-606 and 27-12-607, W.S. 1977. The district court found that the medical problem necessitating the November 1986 surgery related to the April 1980 injury and ordered payment.
