Ankle arthroscopy for retro-calcaneal conflict "Haglund" consists of a small posterior-lateral incision to introduce the optic and a posteromedial incision to introduce the instruments.
In the first stage of surgery, the surgeon will observe the condition of the lesions of the cartilage and the formation of any osteophytes (bone beaks).
In a second step, an instrument called a "shaver" is introduced, that is to say a kind of motorized cutter which allows the release of the Achilles tendon and the resection of the upper edge of the calcaneus until the insertion of the Achilles tendon.
