Labib,Sameh A Labib,} keywords = { Achilles tendinopathy, haglunds syndrome, endoscopic calcaneoplasty} abstract ={Haglund’s syndrome is a triad of postero-superior calcaneal prominence, retro-calcaneal bursitis and insertional Achilles tendinopathy. Endoscopic treatment of patients with this triad allows for earlier weight bearing, direct visualization of the Achilles insertion and less soft tissue disruption. In addition, it allows excellent visualization of the pathology. We report a case of an elite runner that underwent Endoscopic Calcaneoplasty done in the prone position. Prospective analysis of his performance before and after the surgical intervention as well as post-operative rehabilitation is detailed. Prone positioning allows for easier accessto the Haglund’s deformity, a more logical view on the monitor and a more ergonomic hand position.}
