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