The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for residuals of a right leg fracture as there is no current diagnosis and no evidence of such injury during or after his period of active duty.
The deciding factor: There are no current residuals of a right leg fracture diagnosed in the record, and the Veteran's statements regarding an in-service injury are not supported by the service treatment records which do not indicate any history of a right leg fracture.
