Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's left knee injury, right knee disorder, and right ankle disorder. The left knee injury was found to predate service and not be aggravated during service. There were no diagnoses for the right knee and ankle disorders.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left knee injury clearly and unmistakably existed prior to active-duty service and was not aggravated during such service.
