Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for right knee patellofemoral syndrome with degenerative arthritis and osteophytes based on limitation of extension from June 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019, but denied a higher rating. It also granted a 10 percent disability rating for the same condition based on limitation of flexion from June 1, 2017.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's right knee extension was limited to 20 degrees throughout the period on appeal and that his right knee flexion was limited to 50 degrees during flareups and after repetitive use. These findings supported the granted ratings but did not warrant higher ratings.
