Abstract

We present our technique and preliminary results with endoscopic calcaneoplasty in ten patients resistant for conservative therapy for more than 6 months. All patients showed a Haglund spur on radiography; none had a cavovarus deformity. Follow-up ranged from 2 to 12 months (mean 5.2). All patients showed clinical improvement and would undergo for the procedure again. Three showed a good and seven an excellent result in Ogilvie-Harris score. Postoperative radiographic follow-up showed sufficient bone removal in all cases. Surgery lasted on average 46 min (range 28–84). There were no intra- or postoperative complications. Endoscopic calcaneoplasty is an effective minimally invasive treatment option for patients with retrocalcaneal bursitis.
