Syllabus

WORKERS' COMPENSATION – SCHEDULED-LOSS BENEFITS – R.C. 4123.57(B) – PARTIAL AMPUTATION – FUNCTIONAL LOSS OF USE: Because an injured worker's loss of use of an amputated body part is an inherently permanent condition and there was some evidence in the record to support the commission's finding that the considerable amputations of the injured worker's left foot have functionally resulted in the worker's total loss of use of his foot, for all practical intents and purposes, the commission did not abuse its discretion in awarding injured worker scheduled-loss compensation under R.C. 4123.57(B). Objections to magistrate's decision sustained in part and overruled in part.
