Haglund's disease is a rare disease of the hindfoot, linked to a morphological anomaly of the calcaneus postero-superior tuberosity, causing pre and retro-Achilles bursitis and insertional tendinopathy. The purpose of our work is to analyze the functional results according to long-term resections of the posterosuperior tuberosity of the calcaneus, specifying the radio-clinical and therapeutic aspects of this pathology. Our study is a retrospective study of nine cases of Haglund's disease operated in the Department of Orthopedic and Traumatology at the Ibn Sina hospital in Rabat, between 2019 and 2023, correlated with a simple literature review. The average age of our patients was 41 years old with a male predominance. All our patients showed painful retrocalcaneal swelling. The diagnosis was confirmed by radiological explorations (standard radiography and MRI). After failure of medical treatment, surgery consisted in an open resection of the postero-superior tuberosity of the calcaneus. The evolution was favorable in 92% of cases. Complications were rare. Haglund's disease is a pathology often underestimated, we must think about it before all Achilles insertion tendinopathy. Resection of the tuberosity is a simple technique, with undeniable effectiveness, and which is considered the best treatment.
