      finger, eighteen weeks; great toe, twelve weeks; second  finger,  twelve

      loss  of  use  of  arm, leg, hand, foot, ear, eye, thumb, finger or toe,
      where the temporary total disability does not extend beyond the  periods
      above  mentioned  for  such  injury,  benefits  shall  be limited to the
      schedule contained in section ten of this article.
