The Board denied service connection for a left knee condition, including patellar tendinitis with underlying patellofemoral pain syndrome, as the evidence did not support that it began during active service or was otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.

The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighed against finding that the Veteran's current left knee condition began during active service or is otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
