Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's total left knee replacement, finding that it resulted in at most intermediate degrees of residual weakness, pain, or limitation of motion.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's range of motion measurements did not warrant additional ratings for ankylosis, even the functional equivalent of, or for limited motion. There was no evidence or history of recurrent patellar subluxation/dislocation or tibia/fibula impairment.
