The Board has determined that there is no medical evidence linking the veteran's current right thigh disorder to his military service, and thus denied the claim for service connection.
The deciding factor: VA examination did not find a relationship between any current right knee or ankle disorders and an in-service right thigh injury, and the examiner found no current right thigh disorder.
