2. Exostosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exostosis

   An exostosis, also known as a bone spur, is the formation of new bone on the surface of a bone. [1] Exostoses can cause chronic pain ranging from mild to debilitatingly severe, depending on the shape, size, and location of the lesion. It is most commonly found in places like the ribs, where small bone growths form, but sometimes larger growths ...

3. Calcaneal spur - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcaneal_spur

   A calcaneal spur (also known as a heel spur) is a bony outgrowth from the calcaneal tuberosity (heel bone). [1] Calcaneal spurs are typically detected by x-ray examination. [2] It is a form of exostosis. When a foot is exposed to constant stress, calcium deposits build up on the bottom of the heel bone. Generally, this has no effect on a person ...

5. Bone healing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

   Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...

6. Haglund's syndrome - Wikipedia

   Haglund's deformity is an abnormality of the bone and soft tissues in the foot. An enlargement of the bony section of the heel (where the Achilles tendon is inserted) triggers this condition. The soft tissue near the back of the heel can become irritated when the large, bony lump rubs against rigid shoes.

8. Osteophyte - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteophyte

   Osteophyte formation has classically been related to sequential and consequential changes in such processes. Often osteophytes form in osteoarthritic joints as a result of damage and wear from inflammation. Calcification and new bone formation can also occur in response to mechanical damage in joints. [5]

9. Wolff's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff's_law

   The inverse is true as well: if the loading on a bone decreases, the bone will become less dense and weaker due to the lack of the stimulus required for continued remodeling. [5] This reduction in bone density ( osteopenia ) is known as stress shielding and can occur as a result of a hip replacement (or other prosthesis).
