Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for left knee, right knee, and lumbosacral spine conditions but granted service connection for right hip and left hip osteoarthritis as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right anterior superior iliac spine avulsion fracture.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a causal relationship between the Veteran's active duty service or his right ASIS and the claimed knee and lumbosacral spine conditions, but it did show that his right ASIS caused or aggravated his right hip and left hip osteoarthritis.
