Association of Haglund Deformity Size and Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy.

Background: We aimed to investigate the effect of Haglund deformity size on insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) using a new measurement system and identify independent risk factors of IAT with Haglund deformity.

Methods: We reviewed medical records of patients with IAT and age/sex-matched patients with diagnoses other than Achilles tendinopathy. Radiographs were reviewed to identify posterior heel spur, plantar heel spur, and intra-Achilles tendon calcification, and to measure Fowler-Philip angle, calcaneal pitch angle, and Haglund deformity angle and height.
