In addition, the usefulness of Goffi's injured hand beyond the point of amputation is further limited by widespread numbness and extreme sensitivity to cold. While, as a general matter, the specific loss of fingers by amputation is compensable under Section 306(c); where, as here, competent medical evidence establishes separate and distinct disability extending to other parts of the body resulting from the specific loss, an award of total disability benefits under Section 306(a) may be warranted. Martin Trucking Company v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board, 55 Pa. Commw. 174, 422 A.2d 1225 (1980); Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board v. Brockway Glass, 21 Pa. Commw. 444, 346 A.2d 916 (1975); Carnovale v. Supreme Clothes, Inc., 7 Pa. Commw. 253, 298 A.2d 640 (1973); Breedy v. Sharp Shearer, Inc., 7 Pa. Commw. 369, 298 A.2d 702 (1972); Groncki v. Allegheny Pittsburgh Coal Co., 204 Pa. Super. 465, 205 A.2d 624 (1965). It was found that Goffi's disability continued to be total and thus rejected Sabina's second argument.
