Getting ready to submit this CUE for "Residuals, Left Hand Fracture". It was denied SC in 2011 basically due to X-rays taken in service and at C&P showing "no fracture".
In going over my STRs, I found where Medical took an X-ray and I was referred to an Orthopedic Specialist. Medical did not read the X-ray when it was taken. When I saw the Ortho a few days later, he evidently saw the fracture on the X-ray and notated "Fracture of the... has healed". I had no functional impairment from the fracture at the time of the C&P. I have now developed RA at each end of the bone that was fractured.
It will be interesting to see if when two different diagnoses are made, "the tie goes to the veteran" will be applied in my case.

This may have potential. Were you able to find a radiologist report or is that just part of the regular follow up STR? Back then they had paper copies of STRs. Be sure to check the front and back of e

This is so very true, they would write everywhere on the STR. How I wish I was in when the military used computers to enter in our medical information. It is so challeneging to read the chicken scratc

It sure is. When I would go to my non-VA doctor for treatment, I would ask her if she could decipher parts of it I could not read. That's the only way I could figure it out.
