The Board remands the claims for an initial rating in excess of 20 percent for right hip limitation of flexion, a compensable rating for right hip limitation of extension, a compensable rating for right hip tendinopathy with status post fracture, an initial rating in excess of 20 percent for left hip limitation of flexion, a compensable rating for left hip limitation of extension, and a compensable rating for left hip tendinopathy with status post fracture to obtain outstanding private treatment records.

The deciding factor: The remand is necessary due to the lack of private treatment records pertaining to physical therapy for the Veteran's bilateral hip disabilities, which may contain relevant information.
