The Board denied service connection for a left knee disability, to include Osgood Schlatter, finding that the condition was not related to active service or secondary to the service-connected right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found no evidence linking the Veteran's current left knee disabilities to his active service or to the service-connected right knee disability. The medical literature did not support a causal relationship between Osgood Schlatter disease and degenerative arthritis of the knees, nor was there evidence that the Veteran's left knee condition was aggravated by the right knee disability.
