A calcaneal spur (also known as a heel spur) is a bony outgrowth from the calcaneal tuberosity (heel bone). [1] Calcaneal spurs are typically detected by x-ray examination. [2] It is a form of exostosis. When a foot is exposed to constant stress, calcium deposits build up on the bottom of the heel bone. Generally, this has no effect on a person ...
Failure most often occurred at the proximal attachment to the calcaneus, which is consistent with the usual location of symptoms (i.e. in plantar fasciitis). Complete rupture or surgical release of the plantar fascia leads to a decrease in arch stiffness and a significant collapse of the longitudinal arch of the foot.
Plantar calcaneal bursitis is a medical condition in which there is inflammation of the plantar calcaneal [1] bursa, a spongy fluid filled sac that cushions the fascia of the heel and the calcaneus (heel bone). It is characterized by swelling and tenderness of the central plantar heel area. It is sometimes called 'Policeman's heel'.
To help prevent a recurrence of Haglund's deformity: [3] wear appropriate shoes; avoid shoes with a rigid heel back [3]; use arch supports or orthotic devices [3]; perform stretching exercises to prevent the Achilles tendon from tightening [3] [4]
