Haglund's syndrome is a group of symptoms: Haglund deformity (which is an exostosis of the posterior calcaneal tuberosity) in combination with retrocalcaneal bursitis.[1] It is often accompanied by Achilles tendinitis.
Haglund deformity typically presents with a prominent bump on the upper posterior calcaneus. Its causes are not fully understood. Treatment include shoe adjustment, orthosis, physiotherapy, drugs, and in resistant cases surgical removal of the deformity.[2]
