Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for the Veteran's right tibia and fibula fracture, status-post ORIF, but denied a compensable disability rating for her right ankle scars.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right tibia and fibula fracture, status-post ORIF, manifested in malunion of the tibia and fibula with marked ankle disability, warranting a 30 percent rating. The right ankle scars were not found to be painful or unstable, thus denying a compensable rating.
