Table 8 – Fractures and dislocations(*)

(*) The tariff values for fractures refer to closed fractures. Where the fracture is open the award shall be increased by £1,000. Any associated scarring is included in the award.

(*) Where a fracture is accompanied by acute compartment syndrome requiring operative treatment the award shall be increased by £3,000.

(*) An award for an injury in this table includes compensation for any expected consequential osteoarthritis.

(*) Any references to duration of effects in column (b) are from date of injury or onset of illness.

(*) When applied to any injury, the expression “functional limitation and restriction” means difficulty in executing an activity or requirement to avoid an activity because of the risk of recurrence, or of delayed recovery, or of injury to self or others as a direct result of the injury itself.

(*) Awards for injuries in this table include compensation for any associated psychological effects short of a distinct diagnosable disorder.
