Abstract

The Cello technique is a new technique of calcaneoplasty applicable in surgical treatment
of Haglund disease. It is a surgical technique of resection of the posterior superior part
of the calcaneus under direct ultrasound control and in a real time ultrasound visualization.
With the abrader in the only one posteromedial working portal, it is possible to resect the
postero-superior part of the calcaneus under direct ultrasound control. In this paper we are
describing the operative technicque. This innovative technique of bone resection under direct
ultrasound guidance developed on our institution, offers the possibility of expanding the indications
for ultrasound guided surgery in other fields of orthopaedic surgery.
