**Arguments:**
- **Claimant (Mahoney):** Mahoney argued that his injuries were significant and sustained in the course of his employment, meriting ongoing compensation for medical expenses and lost wages.

**Conclusion:**
The court ultimately upheld the decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission, determining that there was substantial evidence to support the conclusion that Mahoney's injuries did not prevent him from returning to work. However, the court also noted the necessity for the Commission to ensure comprehensive evaluations in such cases to avoid potential oversights concerning the claimant's condition.
