An ankle bone spur is a bony growth that develops on the bones of the ankle joint. It can occur as a result of repeated stress or trauma to the ankle joint, often causing pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Ankle bone spurs can be diagnosed through imaging tests such as X-rays. Treatment options for ankle bone spurs may include rest, physical therapy, orthotic devices, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, surgical removal of the spur. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
