Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for left knee flexion and a rating in excess of 20 percent for left knee instability, finding that the evidence did not support higher ratings.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's limitation of flexion was not limited to at least 60 degrees even after an estimated range of motion due to repeated use over time. The left knee instability is no worse than moderate in degree.
