This review summarizes the clinical outcomes of various operative and non-operative treatments for calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder.
Review summarizes shoulder calcific tendinopathy treatments; leaves open optimal strategy pending higher-level comparative data.
Calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder involves calcification and degeneration of the rotator cuff tendon near its insertion point on the greater tuberosity. The purpose of this review is to analyze recent literature evaluating the clinical outcomes of non-operative and operative treatment for calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder. Conservative management, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), ultrasound-guided percutaneous irrigation of calcific tendinopathy (US-PICT), and surgical intervention will be reviewed.
