The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for right knee anterior tibialis syndrome with knee strain and remanded claims for increased ratings for external popliteal nerve (common peroneal) paralysis, anterior tibial nerve paralysis, and service connection for sciatic nerve paralysis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee anterior tibialis syndrome with knee strain was rated at 10 percent based on extension limited to 10 degrees, which did not meet the criteria for a higher rating. The other claims were remanded due to insufficient evidence regarding the severity of the disabilities.
