It's been almost 2 months since I had surgery on my right elbow for osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). This elbow injury allows me to dedicate a lot of time to my turns on the beam. When life gives you lemons...work on your turns!

From Sports Health:

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum is most often seen in adolescents who participate in sports that involve repetitive loading of the elbow. Unstable defects typically require surgical intervention that involves fragment fixation, debridement, or reconstruction with an osteochondral autograft transfer.
