The Board denied entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for right and left knee patellofemoral syndrome based on the evidence not supporting limitation of flexion more nearly approximating 30 degrees, which is required for a higher rating.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the Veteran's knee conditions warranted a higher rating as there was no significant limitation of motion or other factors that would justify an increased rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
