Hagelund Excision open/ arthroscopic

Haglund’s deformity, commonly known as pump bump, is a bony enlargement at the back of the heel that can cause pain, swelling, and irritation, especially when wearing shoes. At Jaysek Welcare Polyclinic & Diagnostics, we offer both open and arthroscopic Haglund excision procedures to relieve pain, restore comfort, and improve mobility.

Symptoms of Haglund’s Deformity

✔ Pain at the Back of the Heel – Aggravated by tight shoes or physical activity.
✔ Swelling & Redness – Due to irritation of the Achilles tendon.
✔ Heel Bump Formation – Visible enlargement at the back of the heel.
✔ Limited Ankle Mobility – Pain and stiffness, especially after long periods of activity.
✔ Difficulty Wearing Shoes – Discomfort due to pressure on the heel.

Treatment Options for Haglund’s Deformity

1. Non-Surgical Treatments (For Mild to Moderate Cases)

✔ Heel Pads & Shoe Modifications – Reducing pressure on the heel.
✔ Custom Orthotics & Inserts – Providing cushioning and proper foot alignment.
✔ Physiotherapy & Stretching Exercises – Strengthening the Achilles tendon and reducing inflammation.
✔ Ice Therapy & Anti-Inflammatory Medication – Managing pain and swelling.

2. Surgical Treatment – Haglund Excision (For Severe or Persistent Cases)

Arthroscopic Haglund Excision (Minimally Invasive)

🔹 Small incisions are made, and a tiny camera (arthroscope) is inserted to guide the removal of the bony prominence.
🔹 Less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
🔹 Ideal for patients with mild to moderate deformities and less Achilles tendon involvement.

Open Haglund Excision (Traditional Approach)

🔹 Recommended for larger bony deformities or cases involving severe Achilles tendon irritation.
🔹 A direct incision is made to remove the bony prominence and repair any damaged soft tissue.
🔹 Provides a comprehensive correction for complex cases.

✔ Physiotherapy & Strength Training (4-8 Weeks) – To restore mobility and prevent stiffness.
✔ Return to Normal Activities (3-6 Months) – Based on healing progress and physical therapy.
