The Board granted a 10 percent rating for left knee flexion and denied a higher rating for left knee extension.

The deciding factor: The evidence supported a 10 percent rating based on painful motion, but did not warrant a higher rating due to the lack of significant limitation in range of motion or other disabling symptoms.
