The Board denied an increased disability rating for the Veteran's left and right wrist sprains, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating based on pain or other factors.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support ankylosis in either wrist, which is required for a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
