Papers・Description | Septic retrocalcaneal bursitis (RB) is extremely rare with no reports on surgical treatment. Here, we describe a rare case of septic RB in a 14-year-old male soccer player who was treated with hindfoot endoscopic bursectomy. A 14-year-old male soccer player complained of right heel pain without trauma histories when he was playing a soccer. Based on physical examination, radiological findings and laboratory results, we diagnosed the patient with septic RB and started to treat with conservative treatment including a non-weightbearing splint and intravenous antibiotics therapy. However, his symptoms and laboratory results did not improve at 4 days after starting intravenous antibiotics therapy, and so we applied hindfoot endoscopic bursectomy for him. At 4 weeks after the surgery, he could return to the original sport at preinjury level without symptoms and complications. Septic RB in a 14-year-old male soccer player was successfully treated with hindfoot endoscopic bursectomy. |
