Not saying it is OCD ... I would of course have no way to know butShe suffered the injury (if you want to call a defect an injury) before she got to UConn and, of course, it did not help when she sprained it during the TN game.
OCD is sometimes called a "defect". Doctors think it probably involves repetitive trauma or stresses to a bone over time that disrupts blood flow to the cartilage protecting parts of the bone in a joint and causes lesions to form. Symptoms are pain and swelling brought on by hard activity. Advanced cases of OCD may cause joint catching or locking and may require surgery to alleviate.

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a condition that develops in joints, most often in children and adolescents. It occurs when a small segment of bone begins to crack and separate from its surrounding region due to a lack of blood supply.
