Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical outcome of removal of calcaneal posterior-superior prominence and that of calcaneal closing-wedge osteotomy for Haglund syndrome. Methods: From February 2009 to July 2014, 36 patients with Haglund syndrome were included.They were divided into two groups, and each group included 18 patients and underwent removal of calcaneal posterior-superior prominence and calcaneal closing-wedge osteotomy respectively.They were evaluated preoperatively and after 6 , 12 months and 24 months postoperatively by American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, VAS score, VISA-A questionnaire and Maryland Foot Score.Fowler-Philip angle and calcaneal posterior slope of the two groups were compared preoperatively and after 6 months.All data were analysis utilizing SPSS 18.0. Results: At six months of follow-up, the weight-bearing lateral X-rays reveals that removal of calcaneal posterior-superior prominence did not change Fowler-Philip angle and calcaneal posterior slope and calcaneal closing-wedge osteotomy decreased Fowler-Philip angle and calcaneal posterior slope significantly[from preoperation (56.5±5.4)°, (120.0±1.3)°to postoperation (48.4±4.6)°, (109.0±5.3)°]. At six months of follow-up, the AOFAS score, VAS score, VISA-A questionnaire and Maryland Foot Score were worse in the wedge calcaneal osteotomy group.At twelve months of follow-up, no significant difference (P>0.05)was found between the two groups in terms of VAS score, and Maryland Foot Score, while the AOFAS score, and VISA-A questionnaire in the wedge calcaneal osteotomy group were better than those of posterior-superior prominence removal group.At twenty-four months of follow-up, the AOFAS score, VAS score, VISA-A questionnaire and Maryland Foot Score were better in the wedge calcaneal osteotomy group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Both the two surgical methods are effective for Haglund syndrome.Calcaneal closing-wedge osteotomy decreased Fowler-Philip angle and calcaneal posterior slope of calcaneus and its clinical outcome appears better than that removal of calcaneal posterior-superior prominence.
