His treatment included medications, physical therapy, subacromial and nerve root injections, and three arthroscopic surgeries, without significant improvement. The PEB rated the shoulder condition as a muscle injury IAW §4.73, while the VA used §4.71a to rate the condition for impairment of the clavicle or scapula. These conditions likely contributed to the CI’s overall shoulder impairment, however, and are considered in the Board’s recommendations.
