Do you know which deformity presents as a hard on the ?

The answer is: Haglund’s deformity

Haglund’s deformity is a prominence that forms at the insertion onto the posterosuperior aspect of the .

The patient may present with the following symptoms:

🔹 Palpable lump on the back of the heel
🔹Skin discoloration in area of lump
🔹 Heel pain
🔹 Posterior ankle swelling

On ultrasound, the lump will appear as multiple growths of bone extending outwards from the surface of the posterosuperior calcaneus. This is called exostosis. The Achilles tendon should also be scanned in the long and short axis and power should be utilized to document and hyperemia present within the tendon or surrounding bursae,

Associated ultrasound findings may include:

🔹An underlying calcaneus spur
🔹 Achilles tendinosis and/ or tears
🔹Retrocalcaneal and/ or superficial calcaneal
bursitis

I had such a great time presenting at RSNA 2025 in Chicago! It was frigid the past few days, but I still managed to squeeze in a little time to walk around and enjoy some of the city sights around the holidays.

I want to say a special thank you to Canon Medical for inviting me to be a speaker, and for hosting an amazing dinner party at Smith and Wollensky. It was great to be in the company of old and new friends. What an amazing opportunity it was to meet and get to know so many brilliant people from around the world who are experts in their respective fields.

I am truly humbled and honored to be a part of this group and greatly appreciate the hospitality!

Do you know what makes an adventitial bursa different from the native bursae in the body?

🔻Watch my 🔻

❗️An adventitial bursa is not permanent, whereas the native bursae throughout the body are always present even when they are not visible on ultrasound❗️

💡Bursae will only be visible on ultrasound when there is fluid is present within them.

An adventitial bursa is an acquired fluid collection that forms between the bone surface and the overlying soft tissues. It is caused by environmental forces, such as friction and excessive pressure. It is most commonly found superficial to the plantar surface of the metatarsal heads. The feet are more vulnerable to this condition due to repetitive micro traumas.

❓What characteristics are indicative of a fluid collection that is likely to be adventitial bursitis❓

The fluid collection will be:

✅Located in the subcutaneous
fat layer
✅Compressible with pressure
✅Hyperemia may be present
using power doppler

💡For optimal visualization of an adventitial bursa, use a lot of gel and minimal pressure to take the following images:

🟢Power doppler images
🟢Long and short axis images
without and with
compression
🟢Measure in both
planes without compression
🟢Cine clips before, during, and
after compression.

If you want to learn how to diagnose msk pathologies using ultrasound, join us at my hybrid hands-on and virtual workshop this fall. We will give you the skills necessary to perform these exams in a clinical setting. There are 16 AMA PRA Cat 1 credits and a copy of my 840-page step-by-step illustrated textbook with protocols are imcluded in the price!
