Platelet rich plasma (PRP) in the surgical treatment of Haglund's syndrome: the use of PRP membranes as an intra-operative local adjuvant.

Aim Haglund's syndrome may be responsible for chronic pain in the ankle and hindfoot. Although numerous therapeutic approaches have been described in the literature, to this date no consensus over a surgical treatment has been established. We report our experience in the treatment of Haglund's syndrome and pre-insertional calcifications of the Achilles tendon using an open surgical approach and platelet rich plasma (PRP) membranes as a local adjuvant.
