Reply to "Capitellar Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD)"

My son is 14 years old, and is a pitcher. He has played baseball since 4 years old. He plays other positions, as well as pitcher. He was diaginosed with Capitellar OCD w/ small joint effusion (Localized fragmentation of the bone, no definite loose body identified) ~ my son cannot straighten his elbow at all, and has chronic pain. His 1st xray was about a month ago (along w/ MRI) He has not thrown, swung a bat, NOTHING involving the elbow in about a month. Because his pain is getting worse, I returned to Dr. and they took another x ray, and there was no change, no improvement. One dr. says surgery, another says rest for 3 months.....just want anyones opinion on this. He has had tendonitis of the same elbow for 2 years prior.
