Denied
The Board denied an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for osteoarthritis left hip, as the evidence did not show a limitation of abduction such that motion was lost beyond 10 degrees.
The deciding factor: The available evidence showed pain and range of motion limitations but no loss of abduction beyond 10 degrees.
