  • Title: A new instrumentation for heel spur resection.
    Author: Keating SE.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1986; 25(4):301-3. PubMed ID: 3734333.
    Abstract:
    Numerous procedures are available for resecting an inferior calcaneal exostosis (heel spur) when conservative management of the condition fails. A study was conducted with Sheridan Park Hospital patients by using the Kazanjian nasal forceps for spur removal. This procedure minimizes soft tissue destruction, bone pain, and iatrogenic calcaneal fractures.
