Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for left knee disability based on limitation of motion.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show sufficient limitation of flexion or extension to warrant a higher rating, and there was no persistent instability to support a separate rating under DC 5257.
