title: Retrocalcaneal problems.
abstract: The majority of retrocalcaneal problems may be treated conservatively, using a biomechanical approach with appropriate shoe modification, padding, orthoses, and injection therapy. When appropriate indications are present, calcaneal osteotomies should be considered, despite less indication for these procedures than for simple resection of the retrocalcaneal exostoses.
