The Veteran's claims for a compensable rating for right elbow traumatic arthritis and a rating in excess of 10 percent for right elbow status post posterior dislocation have been denied. The Board found that the evidence did not support higher ratings under applicable diagnostic codes.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show flexion limited to 90 degrees or less, which would be required for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 5206.
