Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left knee disability with tibia pain and remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for left hip pain secondary to the left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's preexisting left leg tibia fracture injury increased in severity beyond its normal progression as a result of an additional injury in active-duty service, establishing aggravation of the condition during service.
