The Board has determined that the veteran's osteochondromatosis of the right knee is properly rated under Diagnostic Code 5260, resulting in a maximum rating of 30 percent. The veteran was granted an increased rating to 30 percent for his right knee osteochondromatosis.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence demonstrated severe degenerative arthritis and limited flexion in the right knee, which is properly rated under Diagnostic Code 5260 as it does not meet criteria for more severe impairment (such as ankylosis or nonunion of tibia/fibula).
