        "text": "David Newbern, Justice.\nThe Arkansas Second Injury Trust Fund petitions for review of a Court of Appeals decision which reversed a ruling of the Arkansas Workers\u2019 Compensation Commission. The facts of the case are discussed at length in the Court of Appeals opinion and need not be repeated. See White Consolidated v. Rooney, 44 Ark. App. 78, 866 S.W.2d 838 (1993). The sole issue for review is whether the Second Injury Fund becomes liable for a portion of a worker\u2019s total disability if the previous injury was one which did not result in lost earning capacity when it occurred.\nThe controlling statute is Ark. Code Ann. \u00a7 1 l-9-525(b)(5) (1987) which states, in part: \u201cIf the previous disability or impairment, whether from compensable injury or otherwise, and the last injury together result in permanent total disability, the employer at the time of the last injury shall be liable only for the actual anatomical impairment resulting from the last injury considered alone and of itself.\u201d\nThe Second Injury Fund contends the term \u201cimpairment\u201d means a condition which did not result in wage loss. In Second Injury Trust Fund v. POM, Inc., et al., No. 93-1327 (May 2, 1994), we held that \u201cimpairment\u201d is not limited to a condition resulting from a previous injury which caused wage loss, and thus the Second Injury Fund may be liable when permanent total disability results from a second injury to one who suffered \u201cimpairment\u201d from a previous injury which did not result in wage loss. Having already decided the issue presented for review, we affirm the Court of Appeals decision.\nAffirmed.",
