Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and remanded the claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show impairment of the flail joint or femur, and the Veteran's right hip had range of motion that did not meet the criteria for higher ratings under DCs 5251, 5252, and 5253.
