Surgery: Bone spur knee surgery is usually considered when other treatments don’t seem to improve symptoms. Although the patient may not want to hear it, knee bone spur removal surgery may be the best option. Knee arthroscopy can remove bone spurs and is a less invasive type of surgical procedure.
These procedures may incorporate:
Treatments for bone on bone knee pain range from conservative treatments, such as exercise and bracing, to painkillers, and knee replacement surgery. Typically, multiple treatments are combined to treat bone on bone knee pain. Simon Watts is a former strength and conditioning coach with an extensive background in orthopedics and athletic therapy.
What Are Bone Spurs? Bone spurs (also called osteophytes) are smooth, hard bumps of extra bone that form on the ends of bones. They often pop up in the joints -- the places where two bones meet.

Osteophytes are bony lumps (bone spurs) that grow on the bones of the spine or around the joints. They often form next to joints affected by osteoarthritis, a condition that causes joints to become painful and stiff. Osteophytes can grow from any bone, but they're most often found in the: neck. shoulder.

Bone spurs (osteophytes) in the knee are small bony outgrowths caused by excessive friction between the surfaces of the joint. This is most commonly caused by osteoarthritis which is characterized by a gradual loss in joint cartilage overtime.
Marginal osteophytes are a common feature of osteoarthritis in the knee joint and other diarthrodial joints. These osseous outgrowths are formed in the periosteum at the junction between cartilage and bone, which is covered by synovium in diathrodial joints [1, 2].

When joint space narrowing occurs, the cartilage no longer keeps the bones a normal distance apart. This can be painful as the bones rub or put too much pressure on each other. Joint space narrowing can also be a result of conditions such as osteoarthritis (OA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
