Haglund’s Deformity Treatment in Helios Gesundheit
About the clinic
Haglund's deformity treatment is available at Helios Gesundheit across multiple locations in Germany. The clinic offers various options, with MRI diagnostics costing around $900–$1,300, CT scans priced around $1,100–$5,600, and arthroscopy typically running $5,600–$9,000. Helios is known for its network of DGU-certified trauma centers and specialized foot surgery departments that use minimally invasive techniques.
Diagnostics for heel pain
Accurate imaging is the first step in treating Haglund's deformity. Doctors use these tools to view the bony prominence on the heel and check for inflammation in the surrounding soft tissues.
- MRI of one area. This scan provides detailed images of soft tissue and bone. It may cost around $900–$1,300.
- CT (computed tomography). This high-resolution imaging helps with surgical planning by showing bone structure. Prices range from $1,100 to $5,600.
- Arthroscopy. This procedure uses a small camera to look inside the joint. It serves as both a diagnostic tool and a treatment, costing around $5,600–$9,000.
Treatment and surgical options
The Helios network provides both surgical and non-invasive methods to manage Haglund's deformity. Treatment choice depends on the severity of the bony growth and the level of pain.
- Foot surgery for deformities. Surgeons perform calcaneal osteotomy or bursectomy to remove the bony bump. This procedure is available at Helios Klinikum Gotha and Helios Klinik Lengerich.
- Shockwave therapy (Stoßwellentherapie). This non-invasive option uses sound waves to treat chronic heel pain and bursitis. It is performed on an outpatient basis at Helios MVZ Northeim.
- Ankle joint surgery. For cases involving related joint issues, surgeons use arthroscopic debridement. This technique helps stabilize the joint and remove damaged tissue through small incisions.
Clinic expertise and standards
Helios Gesundheit operates a network of over 80 hospitals and 220+ outpatient centers throughout Germany. The clinics maintain ISO quality standards and include certified EndoProthetikZentrum locations for specialized bone and joint care.

I arrived on the ward at 4:00 a.m. during the night and was welcomed there as well, very friendly.
The nursing staff on the private/premium ward was very nice and competent. They responded quickly when I pressed the call button. I never felt like a burden.
Thank you very much for that.

My 16-year-old son and I felt incredibly well cared for both medically and personally throughout the entire time. In particular, the calm, attentive, and caring support in the pediatric intensive care unit gave us a great deal of security in a situation that was very frightening for us. The entire team was dedicated, respectful, and there for us at all times.
We would especially like to highlight Dr. med. Jannika Dodge-Khatami. By looking at the EKG, she immediately recognized what was wrong with my son—an apparently congenital heart defect that only became noticeable now and needs to be treated operatively.
Her professional competence, her quick and confident assessment, and her calm and assured way of acting deeply impressed me as a mother. At the same time, she treated my son with great warmth and appreciation and guided him wonderfully through this difficult situation.
She also supported me in a loving and respectful way. We are especially grateful that she arranged a timely and important surgery date at another clinic.
A big thank-you to the entire team of the children’s hospital, pediatric cardiology, and the pediatric intensive care unit—and from the bottom of our hearts, especially to Dr. Dodge-Khatami.

My husband was admitted to the ENT department with perichondritis (swelling of the ear). The ear was treated quickly and successfully. But what followed is unfortunately no longer a given these days:
Since February, my husband had been suffering from constantly changing, severe symptoms (fever, chills, weight loss, problems involving the lungs, kidneys, prostate and joints) and simply couldn’t get back on his feet. When it was time for discharge, Chief Physician Mr. Stöbe and Mr. Müller listened to me attentively. They took a great deal of time, requested all previous test results, obtained X-ray and CT images, and consulted with colleagues from other specialties.
Thanks to this outstanding commitment, they established contact with the hematologist Dr. Liss. With his experience, the VEXAS syndrome was ultimately diagnosed. After months of uncertainty, exhaustion and worry, that took a ton of weight off our shoulders.
We would like to sincerely thank Chief Physician Mr. Stöbe, Mr. Müller, Dr. Liss and the entire wonderful ENT nursing staff. Here, the profession of a doctor is still carried out with complete dedication, empathy, and genuine passion for the patient. The ENT department has brought the decisive turning point for us—thank you for listening to us and helping us!

We genuinely felt very well cared for. The doctors were incredibly friendly, understanding, and took a lot of time with us. A very special thank-you goes to the nurse Suada — she was so warm, compassionate, and caring, and she really took great care of her.
Especially in a situation where you’re worried and unsure, such a human, loving approach means an incredible amount.
Thank you to the entire team!
