Reply to "Capitellar Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD)"

Our son was diagnosed with OCD 6 years ago as a 13 year old. Advice would be to find Orthopedic specializing in baseball injuries and elbows. OCD has had many studies in the last 7-8 years this condition used to be career ending and some orthopedics will still recommend this path. Find Doc who knows sons goals in baseball if son wants to play and get his recommendation. Our son has had 2 surgeries as 14 yr old and 16 yr old but has continued to play and arm now feels better than it has since he was 12 years old.As a parent we knew nothing of this disease and would probably do things different if we had the chance. The Arm should be your Main concern not how quick you get back from injury to the field as OCD is a very serious condition for an athlete.Don't be afraid to ask if the doctor has had much experience with OCD there are some in the South specializing in this particular problem.
