This condition is characterized by a bony enlargement on the back of the heel that typically leads to a painful prominence with warmth and inflammation at the Achilles Tendon insertion. There can occasionally be an inflamed bursa located between the tendon and bone.
This uncomfortable condition is the result of irritated soft tissue around the Achilles tendon that flares as the bony enlargement experiences friction. Although most commonly prescribed to young women who wear a constricting style of heels and occasionally called a ‘pump bump’.
Resection of Haglunds Deformity is an outpatient procedure that removes the bony bump on the back of the calcaneus or heel bone and repair of the Achilles tendon. If you’re living with heel pain, schedule an appointment with us today. We’ll help you take the first step to a full recovery!
The ankle will be carefully bandaged, and patients will often require the use of a split as the foot heals for a short period following the procedure.
The majority of patients who undergo the resection of Haglund's deformity procedure will experience a full recovery within a period of 3-4 months following surgery.
