Partial calcaneal ostectomy for retrocalcaneal bursitis.

D C Jones, S L James

    The American Journal of Sports Medicine
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Retrocalcaneal bursitis causes common heel pain in runners. Surgery, a partial calcaneal ostectomy, effectively treats this condition, allowing athletes to return to running within six months.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Podiatry

    Background:

    • Heel pain is a frequent complaint among runners.
    • Retrocalcaneal bursitis can significantly impair competitive runners.
    • Persistent pain may necessitate surgical intervention when conservative methods fail.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of partial calcaneal ostectomy for treating recalcitrant retrocalcaneal bursitis in runners.
    • To outline surgical principles for achieving favorable outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of ten patients who underwent partial calcaneal ostectomy.
    • Surgical technique focused on adherence to specific principles.

    Main Results:

    • All ten patients returned to their desired level of activity within six months post-surgery.
    • No significant complications were reported in the study group.

    Conclusions:

    • Partial calcaneal ostectomy is a successful surgical option for runners with disabling retrocalcaneal bursitis.
    • Adherence to established surgical techniques ensures uniformly good outcomes.
