Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial compensable evaluation of posttraumatic arthritis, left knee, due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The July 2022 VA examination is found to be inadequate as it did not provide specific findings regarding range of motion loss due to pain and did not estimate additional loss of motion during flare-ups or with repeated use.
