Haglund deformity is the reactive enlargement of the posterior calcaneal tuberosity, better assessed in the sagittal images. Presence of Haglund deformity has a greater prevalence of retrocalcaneal bursitis and insertional Achilles tendinosis.
Haglund deformity doesn't always result in Haglund syndrome.
Haglund syndrome refers to the presence of Haglund deformity, retrocalcaneal bursitis and insertional Achilles tendinosis.
These images are of a 50yr old male patient who presented with chronic heel pain history. First image shows the small abnormal prominence of the posterosuperior calcaneal tuberosity (Green arrows).
Associated fluid in the retrocalceal bursa, insertional and non-insertional Achilles tendinosis with associated paratenonitis are also present. Edema and fluid signal in the Kager's fat pad is also present here.
Since this condition is also associated with wearing high heels in females, its sometimes referred to as 'pump-bump'.
