Related to bone condyles that have swelling beneath the surface. The condyles are the rounded lumpy bits at the end of long thin bones: finger bones (phalanges) or thigh (femur). Subchondral odema occurs commonly when thes bones are forced together sometimes with repeated running on hard surfaces sub femoral or tibial chondral/plataeu or when staving your finger during basket ball straight finger compression.
Can take a long time to settle but can settle to no symptoms.
