|
|
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasonography-guided multiple needling for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder.
Materials and Methods: We included 18 symptomatic calcific tendinitis patients who underwent ultrasonographyguided multiple needling and followed for average 17 weeks. The procedures were multiple needling or aspiration of the calcific deposit and injection of local anesthetics and steroid into the subacromial bursa under the ultrasound control. Clinical improvements were evaluated using pain VAS, UCLA score and KSS score. The size and status of calcific deposits were compared.
Results: A significant improvement was seen in pain VAS, UCLA score and KSS score (p<0.05). At the final follow up, the calcific deposits had resolved completely of nearly completely in 39%, and the size was decreased in 61%.
Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided multiple needling is considered as a useful method which could provide prompt pain relief and reduce calcific deposit for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder.
