The veteran's residuals, fracture, left tibia and fibula are currently productive of slight ankle disability with dorsiflexion from zero to 15 degrees and plantar flexion from zero to 40 degrees. The Board has granted a 10 percent rating for this condition.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence shows that the veteran's left ankle has some limitation of motion, but no objective findings of abnormality or disability beyond slight range of motion.
