Haglund's Heel

Condition Overview:

Haglund's heel develops due to the shape of the heel bone, where an increased slope of the posterior portion causes irritation of the Achilles tendon. This condition typically presents as pain at the back of the heel bone and Achilles tendon discomfort.

Surgical Solution:

A minimally invasive adjustment of the posterior heel bone is performed using two 3–5 mm mini-incisions and a puncture. The procedure effectively reduces the bony prominence and relieves irritation, resulting in the elimination of pain.

Postoperative Recovery:

• Mobility: Walking with crutches for 4–6 weeks.
• Work Incapacity:
  
  • Sedentary work: 4 weeks
  • Work involving walking or weight-bearing: 6–8 weeks

Conclusion:

The procedure successfully alleviates pain, reduces Achilles tendon irritation, and restores heel functional comfort.
