Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for compensation due to inadequate medical opinions and the need for an examination by an orthopedist.
The deciding factor: The Board found that an adequate medical opinion from an orthopedist is necessary to determine if the veteran's disability is related to VA treatment.
