Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for additional development, specifically to obtain a retrospective opinion addressing the nature and severity of the Veteran's right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The May 2017 VA examination was found to be inadequate due to lack of clarity and missing range of motion findings, while the September 2022 VA examination did not substantially comply with remand directives.
