A member asked:
I got a distal femoral osteotomy about three years ago on the inside of my leg when i press against my quad i feel discomfort what is this ?

Hard to say: There are multple potential cause and i would encourage you to be checked. Sometimes the osteotomy site will develop hypertrophic that may cause what you are describing, sometimes it may be related to the hardware that was placed in your leg to do the osteotomy, or it may be some scar tissue. Consider being checked. Thank you for the question.
