The Board denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for right hip osteoarthritis but granted a separate 10 percent rating for limitation of adduction causing an inability to cross legs.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, but there was evidence of limitation of adduction preventing him from crossing his legs, warranting a separate 10 percent rating.
