Arthroscopic treatment of calcific tendinitis of the shoulder

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery
J JeroschS Schmiel

Abstract

We evaluated 48 patients arthroscopically treated for calcific tendinitis. All patients' were treated by removal of the calcific deposit whenever possible and resection of the coracoacromial ligament. Those cases showing evidence of subacromial stenosis by x-ray evaluation or intraoperative findings were treated with an arthroscopic arcromioplasty during the same procedure. For postoperative functional assessment we used the Constant score. After surgery the Constant score significantly improved. All patients who were treated by acromioplasty showed significant flattening of the bony configuration of the acromion. The x-ray review showed that none of the blurred calcific deposits regained sharper borders after operation and also that no transparent deposit was converted into a denser appearance after the procedure. Those patients with postoperative elimination or reduction of the calcific deposits had significantly better outcomes than those who had no radiographic change. Acromioplasty did not improve the results. The aim of arthroscopic treatment in calcific tendinitis is to remove the calcific deposit.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
