Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of a left hip disability and lumbosacral strain, both secondary to a service-connected left patellofemoral syndrome. The VA needs to conduct adequate examinations.
The deciding factor: The VA examination was inadequate because it did not fully address the veteran's symptoms and potential aggravation by the service-connected condition.
