The Board has determined that the veteran's residuals of a left ring finger fracture are service-connected, based on continuity of symptomatology from service.
The deciding factor: The VA examination report dated January 1947 noted injury in service and residual symptomatology. The current evidence of a healed fracture and continued pain supports this determination.
