NavyOffRec: I dont know if they are saying i have it or seeing if it is just genetic (from what I have read it can be). I think i have something but not sure, but it resulted from when i broke my arm when i was 4. I had to get ortho surgery for loose body when i was 18. no problems in six years.
Feddoc: MEPS DQ'ed me and then the SG (the SG is having me go get a new consult). But they had old records from when i had it done and nothing recent; newest from 2006.. I am going today to get a consult. They gave me a list on what needs to be done: "
A current consultation from a board certified orthopedic physician for
history of Osteochondritis Dessicans, Stage IV with possible loose bodies.
As a minimum, the consult should be LEGIBLE, include the examinee's personal
and family history related to the condition. Past and current signs and
symptoms, treatment rendered and any current medications, and dates. Conduct
a thorough physical/clinical examination and establish a diagnosis and
prognosis. Consult must be signed by a physician and contain a valid
signature block with duty title."
