A new instrumentation for heel spur resection.

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.
