A calcaneal spur (or heel spur) is a small osteophyte (bone spur) located on the calcaneus (heel bone). Calcaneal spurs are typically detected by a radiological examination (X-ray).
A bony outgrowth on the lower surface of the calcaneus. Though often presenting along with plantar fasciitis (fasciitis, plantar), they are not considered causally related. ICD-10-CM M77.30 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 564 Other musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diagnoses with mcc

A posterior calcaneal spur develops on the back of the heel at the insertion of the Achilles tendon. An inferior calcaneal spur consists of a calcification of the calcaneus, which lies superior to the plantar fascia at the insertion of the plantar fascia.

The plantar calcaneal spur (PCS) is a bony outgrowth from the calcaneal tuberosity and has been studied using various methods including cadavers, radiography, histology and surgery.
A posterior calcaneal spur, also known as a dorsal heel spur, grows on the back of the heel at the attachment of the Achilles tendon. It is often bulky and easily palpable through the skin and may need to be surgically removed as part of the treatment of insertion Achilles tendonitis.
Rear heel spur (on back of heel) This is a bony growth where the Achilles tendon attaches to the bone. In this case, you'll get pain in the back of your heel. A rear (or posterior) heel spur is caused by too much strain on the Achilles tendon.
But, are heel spurs and plantar fasciitis the same? Long story short, no, they are different issues. The difference between a heel spur and plantar fasciitis is that one is a calcium deposit, or bone growth (spur), and one is inflammation of a ligament.
M79. 673 – is the code for pain in an unspecified foot or heel. M79. 671 is the code for bilateral foot or heel pain, or pain in the right foot.
Pain on the back of the heel if often caused by an overgrowth of bone on the back of the heel bone (calcaneus). This is called a retrocalcaneal exostosis. Retrocalcaneal exostosis problems are often related to chronic tugging of a tight Achilles tendon on the back of the heel.
Retrocalcaneal enthesophytes are painful bone spurs at the insertion of the Achilles tendon (1). The rigid and prominent posterior heel spurs can lead to irritation of the overlying soft tissue and inflammation of the anterosuperior bursa of the Achilles tendon (2, 3, 4).
