Greetings doctor’s. So I’m 41, male 6’ 190. Don’t know if that pertains here or not. I’ve got pretty bad osteoarthritis in the GH joint of both shoulders. X-ray just showed a pretty large osteophyte on the bottom of the humerus head on the right side. According to my ortho it’s not in contact with the RC or any other tendons so I guess the is no danger of it causing damage there.
So question is do I get the osteophyte shaved off? I’m not in much pain. A little achy here and there. But I know these things don’t go away on their own. For the record I had a debridement on my left shoulder 2yrs ago. That one was out of necessity thought.
