What causes osteophytes. Osteophytes tend to form when the joints have been affected by arthritis. Osteoarthritis damages cartilage, the tough, white, flexible tissue that lines the bones and allows the joints to move easily.
How can you prevent osteophytes?
But you can take these steps to avoid bone spurs caused by other things: Wear shoes with a wide toe box, good arch support, and enough cushion to pad each step. Get your shoes fitted by a professional so they don't rub against your feet when you walk. Wear thick socks to prevent your shoes from rubbing.
How do bone spurs develop?
