Zadek Osteotomy, a Good Treatment Option for Refractory Haglund's Deformity.

Introduction: Haglund's deformity (a prominence in the posterosuperior aspect of the calcaneum) is a known cause of posterior heel pain. Surgery is reserved for patients after failed conservative treatment. Zadek osteotomy is a dorsal-closing wedge osteotomy that reduces the posterior heel prominence.

Anxiety and depression predict poor outcomes in arthroscopic subacromial decompression.

Background: Subacromial impingement is common and frequently treated with arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD); however, its efficacy has recently been questioned. Poor surgical outcomes have been associated with anxiety and depression within other orthopedic subspecialties but not within this group of patients. We hypothesized that anxiety and depression are associated with worse outcomes after ASD.
