A member asked:
Can i get my osgood schlatters bump removed now at age 17? it really bothers me during vball but the season just ended and i have the time

Be patient: These usually diminish in size after skeletal growth stops. Within the next 2-3 years your bones should remodel and the prominence be totally gone, with no scarring from an unnecessary procedure. If they went in and chiseled it down, there is also no guarantee it would not grow back even bigger as a reaction to the surgery.
