Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Capitellum

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a musculoskeletal condition that occurs primarily during the maturation of the skeleton. It is a cause of elbow pain and disability in the adolescent athlete, and it is an uncommon disorder in the general population [1]. OCD typically affects adolescent athletes engaged in repetitive overhead or upper extremity weight-bearing activities (e.g., baseball, tennis, volleyball, and gymnastics).
