A recurrence of Haglund’s deformity may be prevented by:

  • Wearing appropriate shoes; avoid pumps and high-heeled shoes.
  • Using arch supports or orthotic devices.
  • Performing stretching exercises to prevent the Achilles tendon from tightening.
  • Avoiding running on hard surfaces and running uphill.
