A member asked:
Could the arthritic lump on my finger joint be removed?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Depending on the location they are usually called bouchard's or heberden's nodules. They are rarely of an significance, but are harbingers of joint arthritis. Removing them usually trades a bump for a scar, and recurrence does occur.
