OPINION

ANDERSON, Justice.

In this worker's compensation action, employer appeals the trial court's award of permanent partial disability benefits to employee resulting from a back injury. Employer contends the evidence is insufficient to support a permanent award because the percentage of anatomical disability did not change from the percentage assessed after an earlier work-connected back injury. We disagree and affirm.
