For anybody that’s still curious about adult O-S, I had it when I was a teen, but the bump persisted into adulthood. Then a couple of years ago I had knee surgery and after it was done, the surgeon commented that he went ahead and removed the O-S while he was in there. Now one knee has the bump, the other doesn’t.

Funny that this just resurfaced today. I was teaching a lesson on genetics this morning, and one of my students mentioned that he had it.

> My point is that AFAIK, I never had this as an adolescent. I’ve only started feeling the bony extension and random pain recently. So it’s not a case of a teenage condition extending into adult life, it’s a ase of an adult contracting a teenaged condition – as if I suddenly came down with a massive case of acne.

second childhood?😃
