Abstract
|
|
|
|
Intra-tendinous calcification of the rotator cuff is a rare condition usually associated with heterotopic ossification. In particular, heterotopic ossification within the subscapularis tendon is very rare and little is known about its etiology and the mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis. Here, we describe a patient complaining of pain in his right anterior shoulder. Radiographic evaluation revealed a significant ossifying mass entrapped in the subscapularis tendon with tendon thinning. We duly performed open excision of the heterotopic ossification and open repair of the rotator cuff. Six months later, the subscapularis tendon had healed and the symptoms had disappeared.
