A member asked:
I have osgood schlatters. i keep breaking little pieces of the bone that sticks out off. what should i do with them. surgery? wht about after surger
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: Surgery to remove ossicles (pieces of bone) can potentially alleviate pain in patients who have not responded to nonsurgical treatment. A full recovery and no long term limitation would be expected after surgery. If you are not having symptoms then there is no reason to remove the ossicles.
