Patellar Spur meaning
The Patella is the largest sesamoid bone, it is situated in front of the knee joint in the tendon of the quadriceps femoris. It is made of a condensed part of the insertion of the muscle-tendon. This is a spongy structure in front of the femora-tubular joint.
The spur is a projection-like structure, and it is seen generally a joint portion of dependent parts. Such as Calcaneal spur, Patellar spur, etc.,
The main causation is when calcium metabolism decreases in the body, this type of projection o loose bones can be seen in X-ray plates...
Osteophytes
Osteophytes can occur for many reasons, including chronic stress, friction, or pressure. Mini-injuries stimulate the body, and the build-up of more of the bones while it's trying to repair itself.
Osteophytes can be found all over the body including your back, neck, shoulder, knee, heel, toe, back, or hip.

As osteophytes causing pain, non-surgical treatment is usually recommended at first. Treatment may include:
Anti-inflammatory drugs
Physical therapy
Corticosteroid injections.
Causation / Etiology
As the cartilage degenerates, the area of the underside of the kneecap (patella), femur (thigh-bone), and the lower leg bone (the tibia) begin to exert direct pressure on themselves. If there is a bot of pressure on the bone, for a cascade of cellular reactions leading to the formation of cells, which is called the "osteoblast", which started with the building of new bone tissue in the region where the bone has been damaged. It is true, osteoarthritis differs significantly from one of the other common joint diseases called rheumatoid arthritis. Bone spurs are not present in rheumatoid arthritis, because the cellular processes that are affected are provided, both with little to no growth in the body in general. Without the creation of a new bone in the knee joint from collapsing completely, and it will cease to function.

In the treatment of a bone spur, depending on the type of train and the location. Surgical treatment is always the first to be tested. Changes in the activity of ice cream, medicine, injections, and physical therapy can all be helpful.
