VA disability ratings for Thigh, amputation of, Complete amputation, lower extremity, Upper third, one-third of the distance from perineum to knee joint measured from perineum, Middle or lower thirds
Category: Amputations
Amputation of the thigh, especially in the lower extremity, is one of the most severe injuries a veteran can endure. Whether caused by combat injuries, accidents, or other service-related conditions, the loss of a limb dramatically impacts the veteran’s mobility, quality of life, and ability to work. The VA offers specific disability ratings based on the level of amputation in the thigh. In this video by Deck Plate we will understand the VA disability ratings for Thigh, amputation of, Complete amputation, lower extremity, Upper third, one-third of the distance from perineum to knee joint measured from perineum, Middle or lower thirds.
