Haglund's deformity can occur in one or both feet.

To some extent, heredity plays a role in Haglund's deformity.

Another possible contributor to Haglund's deformity is a tendency to walk on the outside of the heel.

For example, high arches can contribute to Haglund's deformity.

A recurrence of Haglund's deformity may be prevented by:

Pain or a bump on the back of the heel is a type of bursitis called Haglund's deformity.

Also called Haglund's deformity.

It is the inflamed bursa that produces the redness and swelling associated with Haglund's deformity.

Non-surgical treatment of Haglund's deformity is aimed at reducing the inflammation of the bursa.

Haglund's deformity is often called "pump bump" because the rigid backs of pump-style shoes can create pressure that aggravates the enlargement when walking.

In Haglund's deformity, the soft tissue near the Achilles tendon becomes irritated when the bony enlargement rubs against shoes.

A tight Achilles tendon can also play a role in Haglund's deformity, causing pain by compressing the tender and inflamed bursa.

Haglund's syndrome is group of symptoms namely Haglund's deformity (exostosis of lateral calcaneum) with retrocalcaneal bursitis.

Haglund's deformity (aka the Mulhulland Deformity) is a bony enlargement on the back of the heel that most often leads to painful bursitis, which is an inflammation of the bursa (a fluid-filled sac between the tendon and bone).
