Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for left hip limitation of extension of the thigh, finding that the evidence did not support a causal relationship between the disability and VA treatment.
The deciding factor: The September 2022 and December 2022 VA examiners opined that it was less likely than not that the Veteran's additional disability was caused by carelessness, negligence, lack of skill, or similar incidence of fault on the part of VA personnel during his left hip surgeries.
