Film of the right knee show a bony protuberance of the postero-lateral aspect of a the lateral femoral epicondyle. The cortex is intact showing no evidence of bone erosions or periosteal reaction.

Additional bony projections are seen at the posterior portions of the metaphyses of the tibia and fibula.

The knee joint spaces and marginals are normal.

Conclusion:

Multiple, benign exostoses are demonstrated in the right knee. this may be a hereditary disorder and may involve other regions of the body.

I guess my mother's shoulder surgery, requiring a plate and 8 stainless steel screws, was weighing on my mind.
