Question
Herkemeyer
Hello All,
I have been lurking around the site for a couple of months, but finally decided to jump in. I am confused at the wording on the schedule. I had wrist surgery approx. one year ago, prior to my ETS. This is what the schedule says:
5214 Wrist, ankylosis of:
Unfavorable, in any degree of palmar flexion, or with
ulnar or radial deviation.................................................................... 50......... 40
Any other position, except favorable.................................................. 40......... 30
Favorable in 20º to 30º dorsiflexion.................................................... 30......... 20
Note: Extremely unfavorable ankylosis will be rated as loss of use of hands under diagnostic code 5125.
At my C&P, the examiner noted my range of motion at 45degrees palmer flexion and 30 degrees dorsal flexion. So if I have pain when my wrist flexes forward than I have ankylosis in any degree. Am I right here? I have not received my rating yet, I just want to be prepared for all situations and have a plan. Any advice I can get would be greatly appreciated.
