The reasons to recommend; bone spurs surgery:

Since we have already mentioned in this text that bone spurs surgery is the ultimate solution or cure to bone spurs so it is not recommended at an early stage. The symptoms may point to the time that calls for bone spurs surgery. One of the biggest reasons can be pain. In fact it is revealed that pain is usually the biggest reason why doctors recommend an operation of the spurs for removal. Another reason in case of foot spurs can be pain on wearing closed foot wear. Moreover if it causes pain to an extent that is not relieved easily it needs to be excised.

Ulceration; a reason for the bone spurs surgery:

Another evident reason that may lead to the stage of getting the spurs in the body excised by bone spurs surgery is ulceration on the skin. Sometimes a stage appears when the bone spurs tend to cause ulcers on the skin around where the spurs are localized. The body spurs in such a situation lead to wounds on the skin, those which are seen apparently. This can be in case of foot spurs too where the excess bone on the foot would cause some injury to the tissues around and that damage would be apparent as wounds or ulcers. Then there is need for bone spurs surgery.

Other reasons for the bone spurs surgery:

There can be some other reasons too that would ultimately bring the patient to a point where one would need bone spurs surgery. For instance one major reason can be restriction of movement. If we take the example of foot spurs then these spurs can sometimes bind the ankle and thus lead to putting a restriction on the movement over the ankle joint. Now this really is something that brings worry. Moreover even in case of heel spur syndrome where the bone is large and is impinging on the surrounding nerves; bone spurs surgery is the ultimate solution for recovery.

Some steps in the bone spurs surgery and prognosis:

If the bone spurs surgery is performed on the foot area then the foot is washed many times thoroughly with anti bacterial soap before it is actually ready to take on the bone spurs surgery. The toe nail is first removed if it is a subungual exostosis or spur. Then if we talk of anesthesia then it can be general or just regional too. Mostly, general anesthesia is for diabetics as others do not suffice for foot spurs surgeries. The patient wears post operative shoes and keeps the foot at rest or even elevated for three to seven days.

Some complications of the bone spurs surgery:

This bone spurs surgery is most of the times a success and the patients fully recover as well. Then the excess bone growth does not recur. There are a few cases where an opposite situation arises. Sometimes other complications that may result after the bone spurs surgery may include fracture due to bone weakness, hematoma formation, wound infections, complex regional pain syndrome, thrombus formation, harm to plantar nerves, swelling, dehiscence, compartment syndrome that can even cause a permanent nerve or muscle damage and then there can be complete loss of toe nail too. However sometimes there are lesser of such complications.
