Purpose: To evaluate and introduce the technique of C-arm guided aspiration and an injection of a mixture of corticosteroid and local anesthesia for the treatment of calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris around the hip joint.
Materials and Methods: Between March 2003 and May 2005, C-arm guided aspiration and an injection of a mixture of corticosteroid and local anesthesia were performed on 5 patients and a local excision were performed in 1 patient for the treatment of calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris. The minimum follow-up period was 6 months. The radiology evaluation revealed the presence and size of the calcification. The clinical evaluation involved checking the level of pain relief, range of motion, recurrence, complications.
Results: The hip pain improved immediately after treatment. There were no recurrences or complications.
Conclusion: The combined treatment of C-arm guided aspiration and an injection of a mixture of corticosteroid and local anesthesia is an effective method for treating calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris, which can induce rapid symptom relief without any surgical morbidity.
