Partly granted
The Board granted an increased disability rating of 20 percent for the residuals of right thigh muscle tissue removal, but remanded the claims for increased ratings for left ankle and left femur injuries.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's right thigh muscle removal residuals manifested with loss of power, lowered threshold of fatigue, as well as fatigue and/or pain, warranting a 20 percent rating. However, there was no indication of severe disability to support a higher rating.
