Osteophyte - what does this mean
Osteophytes are bony growths that form on the edges of bones, usually due to long-term wear and tear on the joint. they can occur in any joint, but are most common in the spine, hips, shoulders, and hands. osteophytes can cause pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.
What happens during the disease - osteophyte
Osteophytes are bony growths that form along the edges of bones. they are a result of the body's attempt to repair and strengthen damaged joints. this is usually caused by repetitive stress or injury to the joint, leading to inflammation, cartilage breakdown, and increased bone production. osteophytes can also be caused by degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, which cause the cartilage to break down and the body to produce extra bone in an attempt to repair the joint.
