Consideration of bilateral Haglund deformity：A case report *
This report is focused on the case of a foot problem caused by bilateral Haglund’s Deformity. The patient had experienced daily problems associated with this condition as well as issues when walking any long distance. Aged 46 years old, their Steffensen & Evensen angle was 90 degrees. The subsequent MRI showed inflammation in insertion of the calcaneal bone Achilles' tendon adhesion department at a T2-weighted image. Also, the Achilles' tendon showed a longitudinal split hyperintense area. No inflammation of the retrocalcaneal bursa was seen. Evidence was found of the following possibilities: Insertional Achilles tendinopathy in a posterior calcaneal spur, Ossified tendo Achilles insertion, Haglund disease or Haglund syndrome. However, regarding the etiology, conclusive identification remains difficult. Therefore, deciding the type of therapy and course of treatment is important by each case. (Accepted on August 13, 2012)
