Welcome to our Grand Rounds for the nonprofit Gymnastics Medicine: Education and Research


Topic: OCD and Prevention in Gymnastics

Target audience: Medical Providers

Description: Join our multidisciplinary team of Gymnastics Medicine experts as we explore a gymnast with Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) injuries! We will break down the anatomy and cause of OCD, review over common signs and symptoms, perform a physical exam, explain diagnostic tests, and review over the three most common areas that OCD can occur in the gymnast.

You will also learn about the best physical therapy and strength and conditioning exercises that you and your gymnast can do not just to treat, but also to prevent OCD!
