Endoscopic Calcaneoplasty for Haglunds Excision Using Two Lateral Portals.

INTRODUCTION

The main objective of this case report is to demonstrate endoscopic calcaneoplasty (ECP) using two lateral portals.

CASE REPORT

The patient is middle-aged male aged 40 years, with higher basal metabolic index (BMI) and was diagnosed having a Haglund's bump and was on conservative treatment for a period of over 6 months, with minimal relief. We did ECP with the patient in lateral decubitus position using two lateral portals instead of using one medial and one lateral portal, his American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score has improved from 64 to 98, and his Fowler-Philip angle is reduced from 71° to 45°.

CONCLUSION

ECP using two lateral portals with patient in lateral position is comfortable for the patients with higher BMI and the surgical time can also be reduced. However, we need to perform more number of cases through this technique to conclude to the results. Endoscopic calcaneoplasty, two lateral portals, Haglund's bump.
