The Board has granted a 10 percent evaluation for the veteran's post-operative residuals of a ganglion cyst, left wrist. The condition is rated under the regular schedular provisions as it does not meet criteria for an extraschedular rating.
The deciding factor: The most recent examination revealed some functional impairment due to pain and limitation of motion in the left wrist, which warranted a 10 percent evaluation based on DC 5214 (limitation of motion).
