Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for left knee symptomatic status post meniscectomy and denied an increased rating for traumatic arthritis, left knee, status post meniscectomy.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a higher evaluation under Diagnostic Code 5260 but met the criteria for a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5259 due to symptomatic removal of semilunar cartilage.
