RESIDUALS, LEFT HAND FRACTURE 2011

Question

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.
