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).
Injections that include both the plantar fascia and the area around a calcaneal spur are to be reported using a single CPT code 20551. 7. Billing for Xiaflex™ (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) Xiaflex TM is only indicated for Dupuytren’s contractures, ICD-9 code 728.6 (Contracture of palmar fascia).

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.

Calcaneal spur, also known as enthesophyte, is an abnormal bone outgrowth at the inferior part of the calcaneus, from the site of the fibrocartilaginous attachment, specifically the plantar fascia ligament, which is the most common site of a bony spur [1,2].
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).
Symptoms of heel spurs can include: sharp pain like a knife in the heel when standing up in the morning. a dull ache in the heel throughout the rest of the day. inflammation and swelling at the front of the heel. heat radiating from the affected area.
An enthesophyte is a bony spur forming at a ligament or tendon insertion into bone, growing in the direction of the natural pull of the ligament or tendon involved. Both osteophyte and enthesophyte can be regarded as skeletal responses to stress.

Bone spurs (osteophytes) often form where bones meet each other — in your joints. They can also form on the bones of your spine. The main cause of bone spurs is the joint damage associated with osteoarthritis. Most bone spurs cause no symptoms and can go undetected for years.
