title: Results of excision of calcaneal prominence.
abstract: Calcaneal prominence in 22 patients (37 heels) with moderate-to-severe symptoms was treated by excision after a minimum of 6 months of conservative treatment. There were 21 good, 12 fair and 4 poor results. Calcaneal exostectomy is a useful procedure in carefully selected patients.
