1Opinion of the Court
GOLDEN, Justice.
[¶ 1] Clayton Straube suffered an injury to his right knee while at work. The Workers' Compensation Division (Division) found the injury to be compensable and awarded benefits. Straube's knee never healed and approximately one year later he sought pre-authorization from the Division for osteo-chondral autograph implant surgery. The Division determined that Straube's current knee problems solely related to a preexisting condition and denied further benefits. The Division's denial was upheld by the Medical Commission and, later, by the district court. We reverse.
