The Veteran's right knee disability, characterized as chondrocalcinosis and post-operative status-post open medial meniscectomy, is currently rated at 10 percent. The Veteran is granted a separate rating of 10 percent for his slight instability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current 10 percent rating adequately reflects the impairment due to pain, weakness, fatigue, or incoordination which limits motion to such a degree as to warrant a 10 percent rating. A separate 10 percent rating is assigned for the right knee's slight instability.
