New ultrasound-guided treatment reduces pain from calcific rotator cuff tendonitis The experimental technique uses saline injected into the rotator cuff to break up calcium deposits.

Radiologists are using a new minimally invasive procedure to treat tendonitis in the shoulder. Ultrasound-guided nonsurgical therapy significantly reduces pain from calcific tendonitis of the ...

Calcific tendinopathy (also known as calcific tendonitis) is a disorder of the shoulder characterised by the formation of deposits of calcium crystals in 1 or more of the rotator cuff tendons. It can ...

Conclusion: The results of our study suggest that removal of calcific deposits with anterolateral acromioplasty does not influence patient outcome. Further prospective studies are needed to determine ...
