Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the total knee replacement surgery is not associated with bone spur formation in usual cases. The bone spur type feeling, might be related to:
- Chronic hematoma following surgery
- Soft tissue lesion as sebaceous cyst
- Lipoma or dermoid cyst (less likely)
- Synovial sheath problems
A clinial examination is must before commenting for the same or you can send a photo image of the lesion during planned follow up chat with me.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
