Question

Hi Everyone, Over two years ago I was sevice conected 0% for complete fracture of my left collorbone. The bone never healed correctly. It looks like on x ray the bone grew on top of the other bone. By the way the fracture happened At Ft. Eustis Va. in 1973. It is quite deformed. At the C&P I could not lift arm out above 90%, forward and back was 25% With much pain. C&P Doctor set me up with a MRI. My Mri was done on Monday 5/14/07. I picked up my Radiological interpertation yesterday. The impression is 1. Abnormal appearance to the distal supraspinatus tendon at the attatchnent / footplate on the humeral head suggestive of full thickness tear. No tendon or muscle retraction. 2. Very small amount of subdeltoid bursa fluid and fluid adjacent to the supraspinatus tendon. 3. No other acute or significant findings. Since I have no idea what this mri means pehaps someome could please give me an idea if this can be repaired and of coarse if I might receive a better rating than 0%. Thanks to all. Les

Looks like you have a valid claim to me but I am not very conversant about bone injuries.

Thank's Pete! I'm just on the big VA roller coaster ride and hanging on.
