Permanent Disabilities - Fingertip Amputations
Provided there is no added disability as a result of
malformed nail or tissue:
- Distal amputations that are one-third or less shall be considered the
equivalent of 45% loss of use of the distal phalanx
- Amputations of not more than the distal two-thirds but more than the
distal one-third shall be considered the equivalent of 80% loss of use of
the distal phalanx
- Amputations of more than the distal two-thirds shall be considered as
100% loss of the distal phalanx
In no case shall the allowance be greater than it would have
been for amputation of the entire distal phalanx.
