Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for right knee surgery due to a need for a medical opinion regarding its relation to active duty.
The deciding factor: A medical opinion is needed as there is no evidence in the file regarding whether the Veteran's right knee disability had its onset in service or is otherwise related to service.
