The Veteran's residuals of a pelvic fracture have been rated at 10 percent since May 2015, and the Board finds that this rating is appropriate given his current symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hip range of motion remains within normal limits with no additional loss of motion upon repetitive use testing. His condition does not result in any limitation of flexion to 45 degrees or hip ankylosis, which would warrant a higher rating.
