Dr. Damien Dauphinee, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, and Dr. Raafae Hussain, fellowship trained foot and ankle surgeon, dive into one of their cases and walk through Haglund’s surgery that removes the dreaded “pump bump.”

 QUOTES:

“The paratenon has been argued should you dissect it free or should you not dissect it free. I’ve gone both ways and I feel in my mind that the less trauma you cause to it, the better you end up doing, so I don’t like to dissect mine free too much.” -Dr. Raafae Hussain [04:40]

“The dissection around those spurs is time consuming, and if you do it right and if you save as much tendon as possible, your repair is going to be much more vigorous and robust.” -Dr. Damien Dauphinee [07:01]
