Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to the AOJ for an adequate VA medical examination and opinion regarding the Veteran's left knee disorder.
The deciding factor: The medical examination and accompanying medical opinion are found to be inadequate as they did not address any other medically noted and/or diagnosed knee disorders of record and were based on legally faulty reasoning that the Veteran's disorder pre-existed service.
