The Board has determined that the veteran's Osgood-Schlatter's Disease does not meet or approximate the criteria for a rating in excess of 10 percent for his right knee and 20 percent for his left knee.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not show any limitation of flexion, instability, subluxation, or arthritis that would warrant an increased evaluation under the applicable diagnostic codes.
