Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for right knee limitation of flexion and dislocated semilunar cartilage, but granted a compensable disability rating for right knee instability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experiences slight instability in the right knee, which warranted a compensable rating under DC 5257. However, there was no evidence to support higher ratings for the other conditions.
