Overview

Haglund deformity is the prominent posterosuperior calcaneal tuberosity. Swelling in this area constitutes Haglund’s disease and is associated with retrocalcaneal bursitis. High heels cause impingement on the soft tissues overlying the prominence and give rise to symptoms of pain and swelling.
