Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial compensable disability rating for left shin splint to obtain a sufficient VA medical examination.
The deciding factor: Additional development is necessary as the current evidence does not provide a complete picture of the Veteran's condition, particularly regarding potential malunion or nonunion of the tibia and fibula.
