General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Most probably it might be a bony spur. You can go for an MRI scan to get a better clinical picture and to look for any nerve impingement and to rule out ligament and tendon involvement. If it is asymptomatic and doesn’t cause any pain or discomfort, then no treatment is required. In case of pain better to consult an orthopaedician and consider surgical removal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
