Q: what is compartmental space is preserved and small osteophytes along the lateral margin mean when speaking about the right hip? what is the best way to treat this?

: My interpretation of the wording is it says things are normal. There a few calcium pieces at random on the outside (of no importance). You don't treat normal. What this means in a specific persons case must be decided by the treating doc.
