title: Retrocalcaneal Pain After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Avulsion Fracture of the Achilles Tendon Treated by Endoscopic Adhesiolysis and Endoscopic Calcaneoplasty: A Case Report.
abstract: Avulsion fracture of the Achilles tendon is uncommon. Open reduction and internal fixation is indicated for displaced fracture in order to restore the normal function of the Achilles tendon. We present a patient with avulsion fracture of Achilles tendon that was complicated by the development of secondary Haglund's deformity and fibrous adhesion between the Achilles tendon and the calcaneus. He was successful treated by endoscopic calcaneoplasty and endoscopic adhesiolysis.
