A prospective study of excision of bony eminence in haglund deformity for treating retrocalcaneal bursitis
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyse the outcome of surgical management of Haglund’s deformity. Haglund’s deformity is a prominence in the posterolateral aspect of the calcaneum, causing a painful bursitis, which may be difficult to treat by conservative methods alone. This study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes of excision of Haglund’s deformity by the lateral approach. During the period from Feb 2017 to Jan 2018, 20 patients underwent excision of Haglund’s deformity using lateral approach and their functional outcome was analyzed using AOFAS Score. The mean AOFAS score at the follow up was 86/100, with significantly decrease in pain at one year follow up. The lateral approach to deformity excision can be an effective treatment for those suffering from Haglund’s deformity.
