The Board denied an increased rating for the veteran's right elbow degenerative arthritis, stating that the symptoms do not warrant a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right elbow disability symptomatology does not more nearly approximate limitation of flexion to 90 degrees; limitation of extension to 75 degrees; limitation of pronation with motion lost beyond the last quarter of the arc and where the hand does not approach full pronation, or when the hand is fixed near the middle of the arc or moderate pronation.
