The Board denied service connection for a bone disability (unhealed navicular) of the right wrist as there is no evidence linking it to active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion in November 2024 concluded that it was less likely than not that the Veteran's unhealed navicular on the right wrist was incurred in or caused by an in-service event, injury, or illness. The service treatment records were negative for any diagnosis or treatment of a right wrist disability.
