Orthopedic advice for osetochondroma?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually not treated: Osteochondromas are benign growths near a bone's growth plate. They can actively grow while you are growing, and stop when your bones stop growing. If large enough they can rub on muscles and/or tendons, or be prominent. If they cause discomfort, they can be removed.

More info is needed-: Single or multiple, sessile is pedunculated , as well as location & symptomatic or found incidentally. Then an answer is easier.
