The Board denied an increased rating for the Veteran's limitation of flexion in her right knee but granted a separate 10 percent rating for right knee instability.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated the criteria for a higher rating under diagnostic code 5260, but supported a separate 10 percent rating for instability under diagnostic code 5257.
