Dr. Lin Yunfei
Whether plantar bone spurs are serious depends on the patient's specific condition. If the bone spur is mild, it generally does not affect normal work and daily life. However, if the bone spur is more severe, it may lead to rupture of the tendons in the foot sole, impairing the patient's ability to walk and significantly affecting their daily activities and work.
