Calcific tendinitis is a benign inflammatory disorder characterised by deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals in tendons and is commonly seen in tendons around shoulder joint but can also sometimes be encountered in other sites including the hip, wrist, elbow, hand, neck and foot. Calcific tend...
Calcific tendonitis of the shoulder is a common disorder caused by calcium hydroxyapatite deposition; the pathogenesis is not well-known. Several authors believe that it is related to degeneration of the tendon with an abnormal reparative response, leading to calcium hydroxyapatite crystal deposition. ...

The mobility of the shoulder, the biologicsparameters improved and the size of the calcification as well thedegree of inflammation regressed on ultrasound after 3 days.Conclusion: This is the first report of a woman with an acute flareinduced by calcific t...
Considering this clinical chronology, it is evident that this process is reversible in each phase. Also, if the calcific debris remains contained inside the tendon sheath and is free of tension, the shoulder complex commonly retains its full range of motion without pain.By R. Vincent DavisDNBPM...
