The Board’s assessment of the PEB rating determinations is confined to review of medical records and all available evidence for application of the Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) standards to the unfitting medical condition at the time of separation. Right Femoral Shaft Stress Fracture Condition . The diagnoses were listed asright femoral shaft stress fracture; bilateral medial tibial plateau stress reactions; right second metatarsal stress reaction; and bilateral...

The leg, hipand knee conditions, characterized as “bilateral shin splints,” “right tibial plafond stress reaction,” “bilateral femoral stress reactions,” and “left greater trochanteric bursitis & PFPS [patellofemoral pain syndrome],” were forwarded to the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) IAW SECNAVINST 1850.4E.

She reported that Coccydynia Condition. The Board noted that the final PMR examination, a week prior to separation, documented that the right hip was pain free (over 2 weeks after an injection) and that the left hip had minimal pain rated at 3 out of 10. At the C&P examination performed specifically for the coccyx on 29 April 2009, over a year after separation, the CI reported continued pain and had reduced and painful ROM on examination.

These were considered together as right and left lower leg conditions for determination of fitness. The Board agreed the left hip condition was mild.The records noted periods of both hip pain and no hip pain.Routine X-rays, bone scans of the hips revealed no pathology. The Board noted the report of the CI at the time of the NARSUM thatleft hip pain “radiated from the back.”After due deliberation, considering all of the evidence, the Board agreed that there was no preponderance of evidence...

No other conditions were submitted by the MEB.The PEB adjudicated “multiple stress reactions/healing stress fractures”as unfitting rated20%,with likely application of Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD).The remaining conditions,left cuboid stress fracture, bilateral medial tibial plateau stress fracture and right femoral shaft stress fracture, were determined to be Category II (contributing to unfit condition). Bone scan on 22 August 2001 demonstrated healing stress...

Groin Pain Condition. In the matter of the bilateral hip condition, the Board unanimously recommends that each joint be rated as separately unfitting at 10%, coded 5019, IAW VASRD §4.71a.

There were no clinical records or VA C&P examinations proximate to TDRL exit in evidence. The CI was not tender on examination and subsequent neurological examinations were normal and also documented normal gait and posture. Again, there was no proximate C&P examination to TDRL exit, but the gait and posture were noted as normal on a 2010 neurology examination.

Orthopedic evaluation diagnosed left snapping hip syndrome and left trochanteric bursitis (inflammation of the hip joint) and the CI had a steroid injection into the left hip with “nearly complete resolution of her symptoms.”The CI had additional hip imaging (MR arthrogram) that supported fibrous dysplasia withno evidence of significant degenerative changes at the left hip or left acetabular labral tear and a new finding of mildinflammation of the gluteal tendon at the hip.

The Board must apply separate codes and ratings in its recommendations if compensable ratings for each condition are achieved IAW VASRD §4.71a. An orthopedic examination three and one half months prior to separation, noted that she had “subjective” pain, and documented an essentially normal exam. As previously elaborated, the Board must first consider whether the left or right hip pain condition remained separately unfitting, having de-coupled it from a combined PEB adjudication.
