What causes bone spurs in the legs?

Bone spurs in the legs are generally caused by factors such as aging, frequent intense lower-body activities, chronic strain, and pre-existing bone spurs in the leg. In elderly individuals, decreased digestive and absorptive capacity can lead to insufficient calcium intake. If aseptic inflammation occurs in the lower limbs, causing osteoporosis, this may also contribute to bone spur formation. Additionally, excessive exercise or prolonged physical fatigue may damage the bones, thereby leading to the development of bone spurs.
