Heel Spur

Condition Overview:

A heel spur develops due to chronic inflammation caused by overloading the muscle tendons at their attachment to the calcaneus (heel bone). It typically presents pain when stepping on the heel, especially in the morning or after rest.

Surgical Solution:

A minimally invasive procedure is performed to remove the heel spur and release the affected muscle tendons. The procedure is carried out through a 3–4 mm mini-incision.

Postoperative Recovery:

• Mobility: Walking with crutches for 2–3 days.
• Work Incapacity:
  
  • Sedentary work: 1 week
  • Work involving walking or weight-bearing: 2 weeks

Conclusion:

The procedure effectively eliminates the heel spur, relieves pain, and restores functional comfort.
