it's not the same with medicals. Each part of the body is given a medical percentage for disability purposes. The medical % is NOT how you figure comp. You have a vocational rehabilitation specialist determine your ability to work in the future BASED on your medical %. What you are wanting to do is to close out your lifetime medicals permanently. That number will be based on the likelihood that you may need additional or future care/surgery in the future.

There is no "hard and fast" number for you to look at.
