Denied
The Board denied service connection for right carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) as the evidence did not support a finding that it was related to the Veteran's military service or secondary to his service-connected right thumb fracture.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's right CTS was causally related to his military service or aggravated by his service-connected right thumb fracture.
