Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The main study parameters are the degree of patient satisfaction.
Secondary outcome
The outcomes of the FAOS, Ogilvie-Harris scale, NRS for pain and the EQ-5D-3L.
Size of the posterosuperior calcaneal exostosis, measured on a standard lateral
radiograph using parallel pitch lines.
Background summary
The retrocalcaneal bursae can get inflamed and swollen, and this known as
retrocalcaneal bursitis. This causes irritation and entrapment of the Achilles
tendon and ultimately hind foot pain. When conservative treatment fails,
surgical treatment is indicated. , Little is known about the long-term results
of operative treatment.
Study objective
Primary Objective: The primary aim of this study is to determine the degree of
patient satisfaction and assess objectively the clinical outcome at a minimum
of five years follow-up after surgical intervention.
Secondary Objective(s): The secondary objective is to assess the functional
outcome measures and analyse the correlation of reformation of exostosis after
surgery with the recurrent or persisting complaints.
Study design
This study is designed as a retrospective case series.
Study burden and risks
All patients will receive one conventional lateral X-ray of the ankle, which is
an exposure to radiation. This study does not provide immediate advantage for
the participating patient.
