PURPOSE OF THE STUDY:
To evaluate the mid-term clinical results of patients with Haglund's deformity treated with the central tendon-splitting procedure, and to determine the factors related to patient satisfaction. A retrospective evaluation was made of 20 patients treated with the central tendon-splitting procedure for Haglund's deformity by a single surgeon over a 5-year period.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:
The patients were evaluated preoperatively and in the postoperative follow-up examinations with the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores and visual analog pain scale scores (VAS). Satisfaction with the surgical results was assessed at 3, 6, 12 months and the final follow-up visit, and the factors affecting patient satisfaction were examined.

RESULTS:
Evaluation was made of 13 (65%) females and 7 (35%) males with a mean age of 45.8±8.1 years (range, 37-53 years). The AOFAS values were mean 44.4±8.4 preoperatively, and increased statistically significantly to 89.2±3.2 at the final follow-up examination (p
