An osteophyte, commonly known as a bone spur, is a bony growth that forms along the edges of bones, often in response to joint degeneration or Arthritis. In contrast, an enthesophyte is a type of bony growth that occurs at the site of tendon or ligament attachment to bone, typically due to inflammation or stress at these sites. While both are forms of bone overgrowth, their locations and causes differ, with osteophytes associated with joint surfaces and enthesophytes related to soft tissue attachments.
