  • I had my third elbow surgery! This time to clean up/ smooth out cartilage that was catching. It's been a long journey with my right elbow. If you want to learn more about Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) check out this playlist: • Elbow Surgery Update |...
    Third time's the charm!
    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.

    This year it’s been four years and 8 surgeries on my moms two elbows. She fell when she was 68 and broke both of them. She has osteoporosis too. Her first prosthesis in her right elbow got infected by the hospitals mess up. This year it was all finally fixed and at 72 she finally is living without an infection inside her!

    Hey Whitney, I really hope you feel better soon, but I just wanted to tell you that I have OCD in my left elbow, and your videos are helping me through it. Yesterday when this was posted, I was very surprised because I thought it was an old video, but I realized it wasn’t, a few hours after this was posted and I was in the way to gymnastics practice, my mom got a call that there is a donor and my doctor is seeing if it is right for me, and if so, surgery is next Friday. Thank you for helping me through all of this and I am playing for you

I might have to get another in my knee soon because after 3 years they figured out my knee was not healing. I have had such a hard time finding people who have it as well!

But I can’t believe you are having another surgery I have been watching you for a long time at least five years and I watched almost every video you have made.
