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...

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...

She was placed on limited duty twice and referred for a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB). The rating for the unfitting ankle condition is addressed below; no additional conditions are within the DoDI 6040.44 defined purview of the Board. The Board concluded therefore that this condition could not be recommended for additional disability rating.

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...

The IPEB adjudicated the s/p ACL reconstruction, left knee and degenerative joint, left knee/right ankle conditions as unfitting, rated 10% and 10%, with application of the Veteran’s Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD). Exam demonstrated tenderness; pain limited ROM of 0-95 degrees (including DeLuca) and no evidence of laxity. 3 PD1201141 RECOMMENDATION: The Board, therefore, recommends that there be no recharacterization of the CI’s disability and separation determination, as...
