268     If the assessor considers that the impairment is not adequately assessed using one of the tables in Section 9.9 (Wrists), Section 9.10 (Elbows) or Section 9.11 (Shoulders), and the condition involves objectively demonstrated joint instability, objectively demonstrated arthritis or where the employee has had an arthroplasty, the assessor may consider the effect of the injury on upper extremity function instead and assess the WPI rating using Table 9.14: Upper extremity function. Table 9.14 cannot be used unless the condition involves objectively demonstrated joint instability or arthritis or the employee has had an arthroplasty.
