Percutaneous Zadek Osteotomy vs Open Haglund Resection for Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy: Early Outcomes and Complication Rates.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) is difficult to manage despite multiple surgical options. Two of the surgical options include an open midline Achilles tendon-splitting Haglund resection and a percutaneous Zadek osteotomy (ZO). The current study compared the patient-reported outcomes and complications of open vs percutaneous procedures in patients with IAT ± Haglund deformity.

Methods

A retrospective comparative study of consecutive patients who underwent either an open midline Achilles tendon-splitting Haglund resection or percutaneous ZO for IAT ± Haglund deformity at a single institution with minimum 12 months' follow-up was performed.
