The VA determined that the veteran's right leg fracture is healed and asymptomatic, with no residual disability. As a result, they found that there are no compensable evaluations for his condition.
The deciding factor: The VA found that the veteran's right leg fracture has healed and does not cause any current functional impairment or disability.
