Haglund’s syndrome produces retrocalcaneal bursitis or Achilles tendonitis due to impingement of posterior superior bursal projection of calcaneus on insertional fibers of Achilles tendon. Haglund’s syndrome has been mainly associated with wearing rigid counter shoes and with athletes. We experienced three case of late sequelae of secondary Haglund’s syndrome after malunion of tongue type calcaneus fracture. It is to be the first description of secondary Haglund’s syndrome after calcaneus malunion and also the first report as the late complication of calcaneus fractures. Three cases were all tongue type intraarticular fractures and were treated with 45° superior angle resection of superior calcaneal tuberosity. Clinical results by modified Rowe score were excellent with complete pain relief for all three cases.
