    Changes at the VA Regarding Joint Injuries

    Veteran joint injuries are an increasing problem, such as: ankle/foot injuries, hip/joint injuries, knee injuries, and shoulder injuries. Joint injuries are one of the most common injuries during military training. Ligaments can become partially or completely torn; cartilage can be injured, fractured or develop a degenerative condition; bones can break, fracture and chip; tendons can have inflammation and the patella tendon can be torn. Rough helicopter or aircraft landings, where servicemen and women are jolted to the ground from a substantial height, also contribute to thes various joint problems.

    Joint problems may be caused by diseases (most commonly arthritis, a degenerative disease where the cartilage in the joint gradually wears away), injuries caused by a direct blow or sudden movement that strains the joint beyond its normal range of motion (ROM), and over-use. Unfortunately, many veterans receive low ratings for these grevious injuries due to the rating criteria being based upon World War I medical knowledge.

    Recently, the VA has made some adjustments to ratings for degenerative joint diseases of the ankle, foot, hip, and knee. The term “ankylosis” is still the foundational classification, as it describes the mobility of an impaired joint. The VA uses this classification for most disabilities affecting joints, which will result in ratings no higher than 30%.

    The following conditions, symptoms and examples of the knee and lower leg are listed on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Disability Benefits Questionnaire:

    • Ankylosis of the Knee
    • Functional Limitations
    • Knee Cartilage Problems
    • Knee Instability
    • Locked Knee
    • Menius Lesions
    • Subluxation of the Knee
