Denied
The Board denied the claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent and 20 percent for left knee meniscal tear, finding that the Veteran's range of motion did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: Based on the evidence of record, including VA examinations and VA treatment records, the Board concluded that the Veteran's left knee meniscal tear was not manifested by recurrent subluxation or lateral instability at any time during the period on appeal, and thus denied the claim.
