Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an initial compensable rating and evaluation in excess of 10 percent for right femur fracture s/p ORIF surgery, as a new examination is needed to provide adequate range of motion testing during flare-ups and repeated use over time.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examination did not adequately address the Veteran's reported flare-ups or provide sufficient range of motion measurements for repeated use over time, necessitating a remand for an updated examination.
