abstract = {Bone osteophytes mostly occur in the spine and weightbearing joints (1,2). Bone osteophytes are a result of degeneration due to biomechanical changes associated with aging, trauma and accumulation of external strain (3-5). Related conditions will occur when bone spurs compress the surrounding tissue and cause injury in motion and at rest, leading to a series of pathological changes. The patient reported in this study had multiple spurs and was also present with spontaneous hemothorax. His spurs were also close to the junction of cartilage and ribs.},
