Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic calcaneoplasty (ECP) and gastrocnemius recession (GR) are surgical methods proposed to treat Haglund's deformity and mild to moderate insertional Achilles tendinopathy.
- In a study of 14 patients with less than 50% tendinous degeneration, both procedures were performed, allowing weightbearing in a CAM boot within the first week post-surgery.
- Results showed significant improvements in foot angles and AOFAS scores, indicating that ECP with GR is a safe and effective treatment option, although there were some cases of temporary nerve issues and delayed wound healing.
