Can bone spurs return after surgery?

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Possibly: Depending on where your spurs were removed from will help with the answer to this question. In general, bone spurs will no return. But, in some cases over many years there might be a recurrence of bone in the same location. Hope this helps.
