Examples of factors affecting ISV assessment 15 to 28 the level of amputation, for example, at carpo metacarpal (CMC) joint, through the distal third of the thumb metacarpal, at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint or thumb interphalangeal (IP) joint whether the injury is to the dominant hand the extent of any damage to the fingers Additional comment about appropriate level of ISV An ISV at or near the bottom of the range will be appropriate if— there has been an amputation through the interphalangeal joint of the thumb; and there is a DPI for the injury of 11%. An ISV at or near the middle of the range will be appropriate if there has been an amputation through the proximal phalanx. An ISV at or near the top of the range will be appropriate if— there has been an amputation at the base of the thumb at the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint level of the dominant hand; and there are ongoing debilitating complications.
