Granted
The Veteran's continued wrist immobilization throughout the convalescence year after his surgery warrants a temporary total rating for the entire year (spanning September 20, 2018, through September 20, 2019).
The deciding factor: Based on the need for convalescence following left wrist surgery and the severe postoperative residuals such as therapeutic immobilization of one major joint or more.
