Can I get any VA disability from this diagnosis R/Knee

Mild patellofemoral osteoarthritis. 8 mm calcified femorotibial anterior loose body

Mild calcific tendinopathy of the quadriceps.

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease.
 
It is possible, but the percentage, if any, will vary based on range of motion.

In addition to @chaplaincharlie feedback...

If there exist other impairment of the Knee due to recurrent subluxation or lateral instability, then a DoVA official rating could potentially be adjudicated by the DoVA rating agency as Severe @ 30%, Moderate @ 20%, or Slight @ 10%.

Moreover, if there is Cartilage, semilunar, dislocated, with frequent episodes of “locking,” pain, and effusion into the joint, then a DoVA 20% rating is feasible; or if there is Cartilage, semilunar, removal of, symptomatic then a DoVA 10% rating is possible.

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer!"

Best Wishes!
