If Army, falls under AR 40-501 Chapter 3–12.

Upper extremities The causes for referral to an MEB are as follows (see also para 3–14):

b. Joint ranges of motion which do not equal or exceed the measurements listed below.

Measurements must be made with a goniometer and conform to the methods illustrated and described in TC 8–640.

(3) Wrist—a total range extension plus flexion of 15 degrees.
 
Do you or anyone else on this forum know what rating percentage one would get from a permanent disability like this? I have been doing some research on range of motion, major/ minor, dominant/ non-dominant/ ambidextrous, and favorable/ unfavorable.

It seems one would get more than a rating of "limited in motion", (code 5215). Am I wrong?
 
Whether or not you will be submitted to a MEB will depend upon you branch of services regulations.

It will come down to the range of motion that is measured, the ROM dictates the rating percentage.
