A palpable osteophyte is a bony growth that develops along the edges of a joint and can be felt through the skin during a physical examination. These bone spurs are often associated with osteoarthritis and can contribute to joint pain and stiffness. Their presence may indicate ongoing joint degeneration, and while they are not always symptomatic, they can sometimes restrict movement or cause discomfort.
