Whether a knee twist is an OSHA recordable injury depends on:
- Was it work related or occurred in the workplace
- Was medical treatment beyond first aid required
- Was the employee off work because of the injury on the workday after the injury (and perhaps other days)
- Were the employee's actual job functions restricted because of the injury.
Never rely on forums like this one for assessing the recordability of any specific injury. Always have the specific injury reviewed and assessed by someone who is knowledgeable in both the relevant OSHA regulations and the details of the workplace and the incident.
