The Veteran's left thigh scar, status-post femur fracture and repair is rated noncompensable under Diagnostic Code 7802. The Board finds no basis for a compensable rating.,The Veteran's right clavicle mid-shaft fracture residuals are currently rated at 20 percent under Diagnostic Code 5201, which addresses limitation of motion of the arm. The Board does not find any basis for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran's left thigh scar meets or approximates the criteria for a compensable rating under any applicable diagnostic codes.,The Veteran's right clavicle mid-shaft fracture residuals do not result in limitation of motion to 25 degrees flexion or abduction, which would warrant a higher rating.

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the claim of service connection for tinea pedis and denied all other claims due to lack of current disability related to pneumonia, and non-compensable ratings for the Veteran's scar disabilities.
- Dismissed
The veteran withdrew all appeals, and the Board has no jurisdiction to review them.
- Dismissed
The Veteran withdrew the appeals for service connection for migraine headaches, right ankle disability, left lower extremity disability, and left thigh scar.
- Denied
The Veteran's TDIU claim is denied because she does not meet the schedular criteria for a TDIU based on a single service-connected disability, as her right hip disability alone does not qualify. The Board found that multiple of her service-connected disabilities contribute to her difficulty in maintaining substantially gainful employment.
