Successful Achilles Tendon Reattachment Using SpeedBridge in Haglund's Triad Patients.

The surgical approach for Haglund's triad remains a topic of ongoing debate. This study presents pioneering data on Achilles tendon reattachment using the SpeedBridge technique following partial detachment, retrocalcaneal bursa excision, and Haglund prominence resection in patients with Haglund's triad. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients operated on between March 2019 and March 2022, encompassing demographic data and preoperative and 6-month and 12-month postoperative assessments of the VAS (Visual Analog Scale), AOFAS (American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society) score, and SF-36. Nine patients (three females and six males) with a mean age of 53.8 years underwent surgery, with a mean follow-up of 34 months. The results indicated a significant improvement ( < 0.0001) in the VAS, AOFAS, and SF-36 at the 12-month follow-up. Taking into account the limitations of the study, including its retrospective design and the small sample size, the use of SpeedBridge for Achilles tendon reattachment, alongside the aforementioned procedures, demonstrated promising outcomes. These findings warrant further investigation in future randomized studies with larger sample sizes to confirm their efficacy.
