The Board denied service connection for left wrist, left hip, and left knee disorders as they were not shown to be related to the Veteran's active duty or a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of an in-service injury or disease for the left wrist disorder, and no medical nexus established between the left hip and knee disorders and either the right foot disability or any other incident of service. The Board found that the current diagnoses were more likely due to overuse injuries rather than a secondary condition.
