[Calcaneal spur].

Abstract
The clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment of calcaneal spurs are described on the basis of 190 cases (102 females and 88 males whose ages ranged from 38 to 79 years). All were treated by local administration of various steroid hormones. A good immediate result was produced by a single administration of the hormone in 90% of cases; the favourable result persisted in the late-term periods in 78 persons. The author claims hormone therapy to be the most effective among all the known methods of nonoperative treatment of calcaneal spurs and recommends it for a wide surgical practice.
