Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Knee

Kelsie Thimm

At age 11 during my Level 5 competition season, I found out I needed surgery for OCD of my right elbow. I had surgery in August of 2018 and wasn’t able to return to full gymnastics until March of 2019. I worked hard over the past year to regain all the skills I previously had and have even mastered new ones. I am now ready to compete again and will be a Level 6/7 gymnast this season.
