The veteran's right femoral neck fracture is currently rated at 30 percent disabling. The Board finds that the evidence does not support a higher rating, as there is no indication of dislocation or recurrent subluxation and the disability is evaluated based on functional loss due to pain.
The deciding factor: The objective medical findings do not demonstrate any additional functional loss due to flare-ups or other factors beyond those already considered in the current 30 percent evaluation for right femoral neck fracture, which accounts for antalgic gait, trochanteric and ischial bursitis, and some limitation of flexion.
