Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right knee conditions, to include patellar tracking disorder, as they require further development of evidence.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA medical opinion was found inadequate due to its failure to provide an etiology opinion regarding the Veteran's bilateral knee conditions, including the diagnosed patellar tracking disorder and knee pain.
