Reply to "Capitellar Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD)"

After viewing all options and getting a second opinion from a docter who believed in not using surgery to heal the body. I decided to have a microfracture on the OCD. They removed the dead bone cleanded it out then did microfracture to stimulate bone and cartilage growth. It all grows back in six weeks but the cartilage takes up to 2 years to grow back. I had the surgery May 28th, and have been rehabbing through physical therapy i was in a sling for 6 weeks and got out nearly a week ago. I have nearly gained full range of motion and I am actively moving my elbow i start strengthening inless than twwo weeks and could be playing as soon as Sept. 2nd, but might skip fall ball just to stay on the safe side. But should make a full recovery by early november. and be able to try and play for my highschool.
