Arthroscopic Removal and Tendon Repair for Refractory Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendinitis of the Shoulder.

CONCLUSION: When treating calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, it is important to accurately determine the size and location of calcific deposit by radiographs and 3-dimensional computed tomography. Satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes can be expected after reliable removal of calcific deposit through a single longitudinal incision and side-to-side repair with strong sutures, in association with an appropriate rehabilitation program.
