The Board remands the claim for a left shoulder condition to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding its etiology, including whether it is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right shoulder acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis status post acromioplasty or due to in-service treatment for left shoulder impingement syndrome.

The deciding factor: The Board finds that the current evidence of record is inadequate to make a determination on the claim, and therefore remands it for further development.
