​Haglund’s deformity,

Haglund's Deformity (retrocalcaneal exostosis) is a fairly common (and an often misunderstood) condition. The back of the heel, close to where the achilles tendon inserts into the bone, becomes enlarged. The tissues around the bony protrusion can become inflamed and irritated, especially when wearing shoes (which cause extra rubbing of the foot against the shoe)

Causes:
  • Genetic predisposal to this condition
  • Poorly fitting shoes or frequent use of high heels
  • Tight calf muscles or a tight Achilles Tendon
  • High foot arch
  • More likely to affect women who are middle aged or older

The pain caused by Haglund's deformity is sometimes very similar to that of Plantar Fasciitis so it is important to consult your primary healthcare team to get a proper diagnosis. An Ultra Sound or MRI may help with this diagnosis. Changing your shoe wearing habits, physiotherapy and Over-The-Counter anti inflammatory drugs may help you manage with the symptoms (pain/ inflammation) and in very rare cases, surgery is required to remove the bony protrusion
