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 can grow on places like the ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows and hips. Very rarely are they on the ...
Cortical desmoid (also known as a tug lesion or periosteal desmoid) is an irregularity of the distal femoral cortex that is caused by repetitive stress at the attachment of the adductor magnus aponeurosis. It is commonly observed in adolescents and is usually asymptomatic. This lesion is benign and tends to be self-limiting.
The tumor may be localized at the end of the long bone (commonly in the metaphysis). Most often it affects the proximal end of tibia or humerus, or distal end of femur. Osteosarcoma tends to affect regions around the knee in 60% of cases, 15% around the hip, 10% at the shoulder, and 8% in the jaw. The tumor is solid, hard, irregular ("fir-tree ...
The most common locations for many primary tumors, both benign and malignant include the distal femur and proximal tibia (around the knee joint). Examples of benign bone tumors include osteoma, osteoid osteoma, osteochondroma, osteoblastoma, enchondroma, giant cell tumor of bone and aneurysmal bone cyst. [citation needed]
Hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO), also known as hereditary multiple exostoses, is a disorder characterized by the development of multiple benign osteocartilaginous masses in relation to the ends of long bones of the lower limbs such as the femurs and tibias and of the upper limbs such as the humeri and forearm bones.

The result is synovial irritation and inflammation and subchondral bony changes in the distal femur or patella known as "bone bruises". The medical cause of PFPS is thought to be increased pressure or on the patellofemoral joint. [7] There are several theorized mechanisms relating to how this increased pressure occurs:
The most commonly affected bone is the femur (thigh bone). [1] Other relatively common sites include the upper arm bone, knee, shoulder, and ankle. [1] Diagnosis is typically by medical imaging such as X-ray, CT scan, or MRI. [1] Rarely biopsy may be used. [1] Treatments may include medication, not walking on the affected leg, stretching, and ...
