What Is Osteophytic Lipping?

Hello Dr. What is Osteophetic Lipping? I have been diagnosed to have osteophyetic lipping, and have been suggested to have surgery on my feet. Is it worth having this surgery? My work involves standing over 9hrs a day on my feet and I used to walk a lot, but always in flat sensible shoes. I have a lot of pain in my feet, and cannot do much walking, but job involves standing a lot. Would you kindly advise me on this. Regards Rochan

Hi dear this just means that your joint pain cause is arthritis, this lipping is nothing but eburnations of bone around joint , formed due to degenerating cartilage, if your symptoms are worrying you please go for surgery as advised by your doctor.
