title: [Haglund disease treated by simple resection of calcaneus tuberosity. An angular and therapeutic study. Apropos of 74 cases with 2 years follow-up].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The authors report the treatment of Haglund's disease, using a simple os calcis tuberosity resection. They reviewed long term results and the value of radiological criteria for pre-operative evaluation.
  
  
  METHODS
  The series included 54 patients (74 feet) mostly female and young. The simple resection of os calcis tuberosity was performed without further operation or post-operative splint.
  
  
  METHODS
  Post-operative results were appreciated according to 3 criteria: pain, functional activity and shoe wearing. Radiological criteria used Fowler and Philip angle, angle of calcaneal inclinaison, total angle, CL angle, Denis and Huber-Levernieux test and Heneghan and Pavlov parallel lines. Correlation tests with simple regression were used for statistical analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Results were graded as excellent and good in 73 per cent fair in 16.2 per cent and poor in 10.8 per cent cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Results were compared to other series. Neither radiological criteria, angular or not, can rule out simple tuberosity resection, because results showed no relation between test and angle measurements. There is no correlation between post-operative radiographs and final result. The only efficient criteria of resection is the difference between Fowler and Philip, and CL angles. This technique may be recommended after few months of medical treatment, without using calcaneal osteotomies of Zadek type.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The simple resection of os calcis tuberosity showed good results in 73 per cent cases at an average follow up of 6 years 9 months.
