Bone exostosis has long been described in the literature, appearing in most cases as a torus palatinus or mandibularis. These two variations are relatively common and affect approximately 30% of the world's population. Incidence is even higher when human skulls are examined post mortem, indicating that in some cases the exostosis is small and cannot be seen under the soft tissue. Removal of an exostosis is usually associated with the construction of a prothesis, but in rare cases such as the present, the lesion enlarges enough to affect speech and feeding. Few studies have reported the removal of such a large exostosis, and all were conducted in a hospital environment. In this case, complete removal was successfully conducted in an ambulatory clinic under local anesthesia.

Common Benign Bone Lesions and Return to Sports: A Case Report and Scoping Review.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, USA.
Background: Benign bone lesions are a common incidental finding in athletes during workup for musculoskeletal complaints, and athletes are frequently advised to halt participation in contact sports. There are no current guidelines to assist clinicians in referring patients with these lesions to a subspecialist or in advising athletes on the safety of returning to sport.
Purpose: To assist sports medicine physicians in appropriate referral for patients with benign bone lesions through presentation of a literature review and the case of an adolescent athlete with a benign bone lesion in a location with a significant fracture risk.

The growth of periacetabular osteophytes with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) remains unclear. This study aimed to perform a three-dimensional assessment of periacetabular osteophytes and the effects of superiorization (SP) and lateralization (LT) of the femoral head on osteophyte formation. Female (n = 105) with unilateral hip osteoarthritis due to DDH who underwent total hip arthroplasty between 2016 and 2022 were included.

Article Synopsis
- - Plantar heel pain affects around 10% of people, primarily caused by plantar fasciitis, which sometimes comes with plantar calcaneal spurs whose impact on surgery is unclear.
- - A study of 136 plantar fascia surgeries found that excising these spurs led to longer recovery times, including delayed symptom resolution and time before patients could bear weight in shoes.
- - Right-sided surgeries had worse outcomes in terms of symptom resolution and higher retreatment rates, but there were no significant differences in complication rates between those who had the spur excised and those who did not.
Cervical spinal cord injury following osteophyte excision for respiratory distress caused by diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis associated with ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament: a case report and literature review.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Nara Medical University, 840 Shijo-cho Kashihara City, Nara, 6348522, Japan.
Background: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a systemic non-inflammatory disorder characterized by enthesopathy and osteophyte formation. DISH can also cause several other symptoms. Limited range of motion (ROM) is the most common symptom; however, dysphagia and respiratory distress are clinically important symptoms.

Orthopedic Surgery, Akita University Graduate School of Medicine, Akita, JPN.
Subungual exostosis is a relatively rare benign bone tumor that occurs near the distal phalanges of the fingers and toes. Though it is similar to osteochondroma, it can be distinguished by its specific location and lack of communication with the medullary cavity. Although recurrence after surgical excision has been reported, no studies have examined the timing or progression of recurrence, nor have there been reports detailing the chronological imaging findings of recurrent cases.
