ll prisoners of war suffering from the following disabilities as the result of trauma: loss of a limb, paralysis, articular or other disabilities, when this disability is at least the loss of a hand or a foot, or the equivalent of the loss of a hand or a foot.
Without prejudice to a more generous interpretation, the following shall be considered as equivalent to the loss of a hand or a foot:
(a) Loss of a hand or of all the fingers, or of the thumb
and forefinger of one hand; loss of a foot, or of all the toes
and metatarsals of one foot.
(b) Ankylosis, loss of osseous tissue, cicatricial
contracture preventing the functioning of one of the large
articulations or of all the digital joints of one hand.
(c) Pseudarthrosis of the long bones.
(d) Deformities due to fracture or other injury which
seriously interfere with function and weight-bearing power.
2. All wounded prisoners of war whose condition has become chronic, to the extent that prognosis appears to exclude recovery - in spite of treatment - within one year from the date of the injury, as, for example, in case of:
(a) Projectile in the heart, even if the Mixed Medical
Commission should fail, at the time of their examination, to
detect any serious disorders.
(b) Metallic splinter in the brain or the lungs, even if
the Mixed Medical Commission cannot, at the time of
examination, detect any local or general reaction.
(c) Osteomyelitis, when recovery cannot be foreseen in the
course of the year following the injury, and which seems
likely to result in ankylosis of a joint, or other impairments
equivalent to the loss of a hand or a foot.
(d) Perforating and suppurating injury to the large
joints.
(e) Injury to the skull, with loss or shifting of bony
tissue.
(f) Injury or burning of the face with loss of tissue and
functional lesions.
(g) Injury to the spinal cord.
(h) Lesion of the peripheral nerves, the sequelae of which
are equivalent to the loss of a hand or foot, and the cure of
which requires more than a year from the date of injury, for
example: injury to the brachial or lumbosacral plexus median
or sciatic nerves, likewise combined injury to the radial and
cubital nerves or to the lateral popliteal nerve (N. peroneus
communis) and medial popliteal nerve (N. tibialis); etc. The
separate injury of the radial (musculo-spiral), cubital,
lateral or medial popliteal nerves shall not, however, warrant
repatriation except in case of contractures or of serious
neurotrophic disturbance.
(i) Injury to the urinary system, with incapacitating
results.
3. All sick prisoners of war whose condition has become chronic to the extent that prognosis seems to exclude recovery - in, spite of treatment - within one year from the inception of the disease, as, for example, in case of:
(a) Progressive tuberculosis of any organ which, according
to medical prognosis, cannot be cured or at least considerably
improved by treatment in a neutral country.
(b) Exudate pleurisy.
(c) Serious diseases of the respiratory organs of
non-tubercular etiology, presumed incurable, for example:
serious pulmonary emphysema, with or without bronchitis;
chronic asthma <*>; chr
