Remanded (sent back)
The case is remanded for a new VA examination to address the inadequacies in previous reports and obtain updated medical records.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 report was inadequate due to conflicting information about flare-ups, failure to provide estimates of range of motion after repeated use over time, and other issues, necessitating a new remand for compliance with Board instructions.
