The Board granted service connection for right hip replacement and a back condition as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right knee condition, but denied service connection for pulmonary embolism.

The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on aggravation of the back condition by the service-connected knee condition. The pulmonary embolism claim was denied due to lack of evidence linking it to a service-connected disability or in-service exposure.
