Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) When a
			 preponderance of objective medical evidence supports findings that reduced
			 ranges of motion of the hip do not involve the pelvis or acetabulum, the
			 impairment determination is valued according to OAR
			 436-035-0220. If the reduced
			 ranges of motion are a residual of pelvic or acetabular involvement, the
			 impairment is determined under this rule.
(2) The following ratings are for loss of
			 forward flexion in the hip joint: [Ratings not included. See ED.
			 NOTE.]
(3) The following ratings
			 are for forward flexion ankylosis in the hip joint: [Ratings not included. See
			 ED. NOTE.]
(4) The following
			 ratings are for loss of backward extension in the hip joint: [Ratings not
			 included. See ED. NOTE.]
(5) The
			 following ratings are for backward extension ankylosis of the hip joint:
			 [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]
(6) The following ratings are for loss of
			 abduction in the hip joint: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]
(7) The following ratings are for abduction
			 ankylosis in the hip joint: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]
(8) The following ratings are for loss of
			 adduction in the hip joint: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]
(9) The following ratings are for adduction
			 ankylosis in the hip joint: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]
(10) The following ratings are for loss of
			 internal rotation of the hip joint: [Ratings not included. See ED.
			 NOTE.]
(11) The following ratings
			 are for internal rotation ankylosis of the hip joint: [Ratings not included.
			 See ED. NOTE.]
(12) The following
			 ratings are for loss of external rotation of the hip joint: [Ratings not
			 included. See ED. NOTE.]
(13) The
			 following ratings are for external rotation ankylosis of the hip joint:
			 [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]
(14) When two or more ankylosis positions are
			 documented, select the one direction representing the largest impairment. That
			 will be the impairment value for the hip represented by ankylosis.
(15) A value of 13% is determined for a total
			 hip replacement (both femoral and acetabular components involved). If a total
			 hip replacement surgery occurs following an earlier femoral head replacement
			 surgery under OAR 436-035-0230(5),
			 both impairment values are rated.
(16) A value of 5% is awarded for a repeat
			 total hip replacement surgery.
(17)
			 Total value for loss of range of motion is obtained by adding (not combining)
			 the values for each range of motion.
(18) The final value for the hip is obtained
			 by combining (not adding) the values in sections (15), (16) and (17) of this
			 rule.
(19) Healed displaced
			 fractures in the hip may cause leg length discrepancies. Impairment is
			 determined under OAR 436-035-0230.
