Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for limitation of extension of the left knee but granted a separate 10 percent rating for painful motion on flexion of the left knee.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, including pain and functional impairment, supported a separate minimum compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 5260 for painful motion, even though limitation of extension did not meet criteria for higher ratings.
