Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for right meralgia paresthetica, to include as secondary to his service-connected right knee fracture residuals with traumatic arthritis, for a new medical opinion.
The deciding factor: A new VA medical opinion is necessary to address the etiology of the Veteran's right meralgia paresthetica due to an inadequate previous opinion.
