HAGLUNDS DEFORMITY ( PUMP AND HUMP

DEFORMITY)

HAGLUND’S DEFORMITY

( PUMP/ HUMP DEFORMITY)

Two bursae are appreciated in relation to distal attachment of the Achilles tendon .

Retrocalcaneal bursae.

Tendoachilles bursae

RETRO CALCANEAL BURSAE

RETROACHILLES BURSAE

Tear drop shaped bursae Present along Posterior

aspect of the upper calcaneum .

Little fluid is appreciated in the bursae if it is not inflammed.

Distension of bursae with fluid and inflammatory thickening of the synovium is sequael to bursitis .

Patient presents with heel pain

Chronic overuse / illfitting foot wear / inflammatory arthropathy .

Acquired adventitious bursae

Located posterior to distal Achilles tendon .
