Denied
The Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for residuals of a right hand 4th (ring finger) metacarpal fracture was denied because the criteria for a compensable rating were not met.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed painful motion in the Veteran's right ring and little fingers, but any limitation of motion of these fingers is noncompensable under DC 5230.
