| Video Discription | Achilles bone spur removal surgery performed by renowned Achilles surgeons at the University Foot & Ankle Institute in Los Angeles. http://www.footankleinstitute.com/retrocalcaneal-exostosis-1/ (877) 753-3498 A calcaneal spur (heel spur) is a small bone spur located on the calcaneus (heel bone). Read more about achilles heel spurs on our website: http://www.footankleinstitute.com/achilles-bone-spur/ If a normal bone grows an extra piece of bone, it is called a bone spur or osteophyte. Bone spurs are usually smooth and can exist for years without ever causing any symptoms. In these cases, no treatment is required. However, they can also rub on nearby tissues, nerves and muscles and cause pain and swelling. When conservative measures fail to relieve symptoms, surgery may be necessary. After the symptoms become chronic, it may be necessary to remove the bone spur and then reattach the Achilles tendon. The advent of advanced tendon repair anchors has allowed a more rapid recovery from such surgeries with limited down time. In the initial phase, the surgical procedure consists of partial detachment of the Achilles tendon and removal of the spur formation. The tendon is then reattached to the heel bone by use of a soft tissue bone anchor where the tendon is tied directly to the bone. Due to the relatively strong repair of the Achilles tendon weight bearing is usually allowed at about 3 weeks and the recovery period has been reduced from 6 months to about 8 weeks. University Foot and Ankle Institute is proud to have been involved in the research and design process of the best used anchor system for Achilles repair. This advancement has allowed better repairs and a more rapid recovery and return to activity. |
