Denied
The Board denied a temporary evaluation of 100 percent for the Veteran's left distal fibula fracture based on surgical or other treatment necessitating convalescence.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the Veteran underwent surgery necessitating at least one month of convalescence, severe postoperative residuals, or immobilization by cast without surgery involving his left distal fibula fracture.
