Granted
The Board granted service connection for a left knee disability, to include chondrocalcinosis (CPPD), calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (CPPD), and a tibial bone fragment in the lower patellar area.
The deciding factor: The appellant's current diagnoses of CPPD and a tibial bone fragment in the lower patellar area first manifested during active-duty service, and an injury during active-duty service resulted in these conditions.
