PPD Rating for Big Toe

I recently got the question about what permanency percentage would be given following their big toe surgery. Admittedly, I had never gotten this question before and had to look it up. The answer might surprise you.

For PPD ratings in Minnesota, we go to Minn. R. 5223. For foot and toe conditions, the applicable rule is 5223.0530. This rule essentially gives a number of foot conditions that qualify for PPD ratings and then may be combined with loss of range of motion categories for the final rating. However, the important thing to know is that the PPD rating for the toe cannot be more than PPD rating for a complete loss of toe under Minn. R. 5223.0550. For the big toe, the max PPD rating is 8%. Want to know what 8% PPD rating is worth? That depends on the date of injury. But for the dates of injury on or after October 1, 2023, you could use our current PPD value calculator.
