  • ENDOSCOPIC CALCANEOPLASTY FOR Haglund’s DEFORMITY WITH HINDFOOT PAIN

    Objective To analyze the effectiveness of endoscopic calcaneoplasty (ECP) for treating hindfoot pain in patients with Haglund’s deformity by comparing with conservative treatment. Methods According to the included standard, 64 hindfoot pain patients (77 feet) with Haglund’s deformity treated between January 2007 and October 2013 were enrolled. Based on the patient’s sports habit, 39 patients (49 feet) who had no requirement on sports were given conservative treatment (control group) and 25 patients (28 feet) who had stable sports habit were given ECP (ECP group). There was no significant difference in age, gender, disease duration, disease side, Fowler-Philip angle, and preoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score between 2 groups (P > 0.05). Results The patients were followed up 16-44 months (mean, 33.7 months) in ECP group, and 12-40 months (mean, 37.5 months) in control group. In control group, the syndrome in 34 cases (43 feet) disappeared after 2 weeks; pain was improved in 5 cases (6 feet), and pain disappeared at 3 weeks after orthesis immobilization; hindfoot pain recurred in 24 cases (30 feet) during following-up, 11 cases (13 feet) underwent ECP after 1 year. In ECP group, all incisions healed by first intention without nerve injury; no edema or pain was observed during follow-up. AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was significantly improved in 2 groups when compared with score at pre-treatment (P < 0.05). With time, AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score gradually decreased in control group, but it gradually increased in ECP group. The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score of ECP group was significantly higher than that of control group after treatment (P < 0.05). According to Ogilvie-Harris score system at 12 months, the results were excellent in 9 cases, good in 12 cases, and poor in 4 cases, with the excellent and good rate of 84.00% in ECP group; and the results were excellent in 8 cases, good in 14 cases, and poor in 17 cases, with the excellent and good rate of 56.41% in control group. There was significant difference in the excellent and good rate between 2 groups (Z=-2.194, P=0.028). Conclusion Under the premise of strict control of surgical indications, the ECP can bring satisfactory effectiveness for treatment of hindfoot pain in patients with Haglund’s deformity.
