Jeffrey R. Fuller of Williams, Brasfield, Wertz, Fuller & Lamb, St. Petersburg, for appellants.

Susan R. Whaley of MacFarlane, Ferguson, Allison & Kelly, Tampa, and H. Guy Smith, P.A., Lakeland, for appellee.


NIMMONS, Judge.

The employer/carrier (E/C) appeal from a wage loss award to claimant. E/C's sole point is that there was no evidence of permanent impairment under the American Medical Association's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) under the provisions of Section 440.15(3)(a)3, Florida Statutes (1981), and there was no justification for the deputy commissioner to go outside the AMA Guides to find permanent impairment. We affirm.
