Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left hip, right hip, left knee, and right knee disabilities to obtain additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examinations were inadequate as they failed to provide a detailed explanation of the etiology of the Veteran's conditions or address secondary service connection properly.
