This is a surgical video of a reduction of a Haglund's deformity with a Mitek anchor fixation. This boney deformity on the posterior superior heel is painful with shoe gear. Post-operatively this procedure requires non-weight bearing with crutches for 2 weeks, followed by a walking boot for 4 weeks. Created on July 28, 2009 using FlipShare.

  • how come its not bleeding?

  • @naveslaikss We use a tourniquet which stops the blood flow. This allows us to see better during the surgery. Best Wishes.

  • I had this surgery around 17 years ago when I was 13 years old. I was in a lot of pain at that time. The Dr. went in and shaved the bone. I have noticed over the past couple of months that the bone has grown back and I'm hacing pain again. It almost feels like the back part of my heel under my tendon is tight, especially after a long day. Do you think a repeat surgery would help it?

    You may be able to treat this non-surgically with stretching, anti-inflammatories, orthoses and appropriate shoe gear. If not then you may require surgical revision. Best wishes.

  • Hello, Dr.

    so i went to the doctor with this problem and he refused to do the surgery and explained that its a dangerous one because the bump is placed where the achilles tendon is and if it is cut I might not be able to walk properly and it would take much time to heal. is it true?

  • @manjr Glad to help. Best wishes.

  • G n' R foot surgery! Outstanding!

    Thank you for the video, Dr. DeHeer. I think I have Haglund's, and it's good to know what I might be in for.

  • @lisaann7451 It sounds like Achilles tendonitis. I would make sure you are stretched with a night splint to treat any equinus deformity, use a heel lift until symptoms are improved, oral steroids, ice and elevation, strappings, and finally orthoses. I use shockwave therapy if the above does not resolve the symptoms. Best wishes.
