Abby is passionate about gymnastics, but wrist pain kept her from being her best. After the pain was identified as ulnar impaction syndrome by Dr. Josh Abzug with the University of Maryland Department of Orthopaedics, Abby got her back to form, so that she could go on to win the State Championships.
