Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for limitation of extension of the left knee, subject to the amputation rule, and denied all other claims.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms most closely approximated extension limited to 45 degrees in his left knee, warranting a 50 percent rating. The right knee was already at its maximum schedular rating, so an increased rating would violate the amputation rule.
