    Abstract

    From 1967 to 1987, operative treatment was performed on 28 feet in 22 patients with retrocalcaneal bursitis due to prominent posterior superior margin of the calcaneus (Haglund disease). Through a lateral or medial approach, the prominent bone was removed. The results indicated that excision of the retrocalcaneal bursa was not necessary. Preoperative planning and intraoperative examination was necessary in order to remove an adequate amount of bone, which was the key for a successful result.
