The Board denied service connection for a right knee condition but granted an initial rating of 10 percent, but no higher, for residuals of left ring finger fracture.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current disability or functional impairment in the right knee, while there was evidence of limited movement and pain in the left ring finger that warranted a minimum 10 percent rating.
