Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher rating for residuals of left tibia and fibula fracture and for a compensable rating for left knee saphenous nerve damage sensory dysfunction, as the evidence did not support ratings higher than 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The disability picture did not more nearly approximate the criteria for a higher rating under any applicable diagnostic codes due to limited extension and flexion of the left knee, and mild sensory impairment in the saphenous nerve without severe or complete paralysis.
