7. Definition of bone spur

People's joints begin to degenerate and age around the age of 40. Due to long-term chronic damage to the joints, bone spurs appear at the edges of the articular cartilage. Medically, this is called degenerative arthritis or osteoarthritis, which is usually divided into two categories:

1. Primary: It is more common and mostly occurs after middle age. It occurs in weight-bearing joints such as the knee, neck, lumbar spine, and ankle. It is mainly caused by long-term wear and tear, degeneration of articular cartilage, cracks, softening or falling off, exposed bones, and hyperplasia of tissue around the cartilage.

2. Secondary: less common, secondary to congenital or acquired joint deformity, injury, inflammation, and can occur in young and middle-aged people.
