Iliac crest spur - what does this mean

Iliac crest spur is a condition in which an extra bony growth, known as a spur, forms along the iliac crest, which is the curved edge of the hip bone. the spur is usually caused by a combination of factors, such as repetitive strain on the bone or a previous injury, and can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty with movement.

What happens during the disease - iliac crest spur

Iliac crest spur is caused by an imbalance in the musculoskeletal system, leading to excessive strain on the muscles and connective tissue of the iliac crest. this strain can cause an accumulation of calcium deposits, resulting in the development of a bony growth known as an iliac crest spur. this growth can cause pain and discomfort in the lower back, buttocks, and thighs, as well as a decrease in range of motion and mobility.
