The PEB adjudicated “anterior knee pain after left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction” as unfitting, rated 10%, with application of the Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD). There was no instability and examination of ligaments of the left knee was symmetrical compared to the uninjured left knee. Both the PEB and the VA rated the condition as 10% for painful motion of a major joint with similar coding (5010-5003 and 5257-5010 respectively).
