INTRODUCTION: Conventional surgical management of Haglund’s disease (Retrocalcaneal bursitis) consists of an open excision of the inflamed bursa, resection of the posterosuperior calcaneal tuberosity . Endoscopic management has shown better outcomes with decreased morbidity and rehabilitation time. METHODS: 25 patients (30 heels) who had retrocalcaneal bony spur and bursitis unrelieved by initial conservative treatment for a minimum of 6 months were managed by endoscopic resection. One lateral and one medial endoscopic portals were created, around the posterosuperior portion of the calcaneum to access the retrocalcaneal space. The inflamed bursal tissue was identified and debrided and the prominent bone was resected using endoscopic shavers. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Scale was used for the evaluation of the patients before and after the surgeries.
