What Is a Disc Osteophyte Complex?

Bone spurs are called osteophytes and osteoproliferation in medicine. They are new bones produced by the over-proliferation of cartilage after cartilage is destroyed. They form osteophytes after ossification. This compensatory response. Proliferated osteophytes usually exist at both ends of the bone at the same time, but when projected on a flat X-ray film, it may only appear as a thick thorn with a wide base and a thin tip.
