Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right knee disorder, to include pain and tendinitis, as there is no evidence of a nexus between the Veteran's current condition and his in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The June 2023 VA examination found that the Veteran's right knee pain during service was a one-time incident rather than the cause of his current tendinitis, and post-service medical treatment notes did not reflect further treatment for right knee pain.
