Lipping or Osteophytic lipping is the body's reponse to wear and tear of the articular cartilage which the body is unable to replace. So in the best effort to repair it lays down bits of bone called osteophytes. These appear on x=ray and often the quality of bone is more like invory than real bone. Lipping of the inferior patella means that ther are osteophytes on the lower aspect of the patella ( knee cap ). This can lead to some pain and swelling and difficulty with knee actions.
