The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected Osgood-Schlatter Disease of the left knee does not warrant a rating in excess of 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence shows that the veteran's left knee disability is manifested by pain and limited range of motion, but does not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation under any applicable diagnostic codes.
