Functional Outcomes Following Partial Osteotomy of the Calcaneal Tuberosity for Haglund's Syndrome.

Orthopedics and Traumatology, Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute, Chennai, IND.
Background Haglund's syndrome, a common cause of pain in the posterior heel that consists of painful swelling of the local soft tissues and prominence of the posterosuperior calcaneal projection, presents significant challenges in treatment, particularly when conservative management fails. This study evaluates the functional outcomes following oblique partial excision of the posterosuperior portion (calcaneal tuberosity osteotomy) of the calcaneus for Haglund's syndrome. Methods A cohort of 30 patients, aged 18 years and older, with persistent heel pain unresponsive to conservative treatments, underwent partial osteotomy using a medial or lateral approach.

Biomechanical Changes to the Hindfoot After Zadek Osteotomy.
Foot Ankle Int
December 2024
The University of Connecticut, Department of Orthopedics, Farmington, CT, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how the Zadek osteotomy (ZO) affects the biomechanics of the Achilles tendon and surrounding structures in cadaveric specimens with insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT).
- - Results show that after ZO, the Haglund prominence moved forward, the Achilles tendon insertion shifted upward, and retrocalcaneal pressure significantly decreased.
- - Despite these changes, the strain on the Achilles tendon did not show significant alterations, suggesting the ZO effectively relieves pressure without greatly affecting tendon strain.
Endoscopic Calcaneoplasty in Haglund Disease: Surgical Technique, Clinical and Subjective Outcomes.
Foot Ankle Int

Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Foot and Ankle Section, Orthopaedics Department, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic procedures for treating Haglund disease have become more popular over the past decade due to their advantages over traditional methods, such as minimizing recovery time and complications.
- A study analyzing 14 patients who underwent endoscopic calcaneoplasty showed significant improvements in pain levels and overall foot function, with scores improving dramatically post-surgery.
- The results indicated that 85.7% of patients experienced positive outcomes, with no complications or need for reoperations, suggesting the technique is effective and reliable for this condition.
