Question

I had an MRI performed in Dec 2009 and they found what is listed below. I've applied for TDIU in September and just had this C&P done for it.....just awaiting a decision at this time! Any comments welcomed, Thanks!

C&P report pertaining to the Doctor's impressions:

"X-rays and MRI scanning of the affected joints have been performed. MRI from December 2009 of the lower back revealed moderate central left paracentral disk protrusion osteophyte complex at L4-L5 with some spondylosis in the lumbar spine. Right ankle x-rays in August 2009 revealed intramedullary rod in the tibia, fractures were seen at the distal end of the intramedullary rod, no bony abnormalities of the ankle were seen. Right knee in August 2009 showed some joint narrowing along with intramedullary rod seen."

C&P Doctor's Impression:

1. Degenerative joint disease of L4-L5 and L5-S1 with spondylosis of L4-L5.

2. Right tibial and fibular fracture with status post IM nailing and fasciotomy and residuals of right knee distal fibula fracture.

3. Right second toe digit proximal interphalangeal fusion -Do I qualify for SMC for this condition?

4. Scar right lateral calf - 30cm x 7cm

5. Scar right medial calf - 9cm x 3½cm

6. Scar second digit of the toe of the right foot - 3cm x 1/8cm

7. Right upper thigh graft scar - 26½cm x 10cm

8. Degenerative joint disease of the right knee This is new to me, I didn't know I had DJD in my right knee!

My rating before C&P is 70% with these conditions rated last July 2009.

1. Degenerative joint disease, L4-5, and L5-S1 with spondylosis of L4-5 - 40%

2. Right tibia and fibula fracture with status post IM nailing and faciotomy and residual of right ankle distal fibula fracture - 30%

3. Right 2nd digit proximal interphalangeal (joint) fusion - 20%

4. Scar right lateral calf - 30cm x 7cm - 10%

5. Scar right medial calf - 9cm x 3½cm - 10%

6. Right upper thigh graft scar - 26½cm x 10cm - 0%

7. Scar second digit of the toe of the right foot - 3cm x 1/8cm - 0%

Any impression or comments on getting approved for TDIU?

Thanks! B6
