Do Bone Spurs Appear As Lesions On The X-ray Report?
Could bone spurs on hip x-ray be mistaken for bone lesions? Have seen anion gap drop last four years. Currently, at a 5.0 - but should I request more research? I have also had a previous foot fracture on same side. I am trying to hold off hip replacement but wondering if that is a bad idea. VOID-----
