Operative reports, surgical notes, and post-operative records from the treating facility are the most direct evidence of what procedure was done. To support a 10% rating based on severity, your records would need to show that the condition functions similarly to a loss of the great toe. Examination findings documenting severely restricted movement, significant structural deformity, or inability to bear weight through the great toe would be relevant. Imaging such as X-rays can document bone changes and deformity. Statements from you or people who know you describing how the condition affects walking, standing, or daily tasks can help show functional impact consistent with that level of severity.
