Clinical results of the Keck and Kelly Wedge Osteotomy approach in Haglund's deformity: Minimum 3-year follow-up

The Zadek Osteotomy for Surgical Management of Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review

“…A total of 8 level IV retrospective case series were included in this study. 1,6,9,[21][22][23][24][25] The weighted mean of preoperative and postoperative VISA-A was 52.7 and 87.8, respectively. The weighted mean of preoperative and postoperative AOFAS was 56.3 and 92.9, respectively.…”

“…6,9,21 Some studies did not surgically address the Haglund prominence. 1,[22][23][24][25] Clinical outcomes of Haglund prominence resection and closing wedge osteotomy have been compared. Both techniques have been proven effective in the surgical management of Haglund syndrome; however, the osteotomy without Haglund resection demonstrated better clinical and radiographic outcomes at 24 months.…”

“…9 The ZO technique serves as an alternative or adjunct procedure to the resection of Haglund deformity, which has been described using both open and minimally invasive techniques, with and without resection of the Haglund's deformity. 1,6,9,[21][22][23][24][25] This technique, particularly the percutaneous method, potentially negates some of the risks associated with the traditional open debridement technique. 1,6,9,[21][22][23][24][25] Some potential advantages of the percutaneous method include smaller incisions, fewer postoperative complications, such as decreased wound healing issues, earlier weight bearing, and a shorter recovery period.…”

“…1 There are few studies addressing clinical outcomes and complications of the ZO approach. 1,6,9,[21][22][23][24][25] The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical outcomes affiliated with the Zadek technique for IAT as reported in the literature.…”
