Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether minimally invasive treatments like ultrasound guided needle fragmentation with and without lavage is associated with better clinical outcomes compared to the subacromial bursal corticosteroid injection treatment only.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendonitis

Interventions

OTHER

Ultrasound guided Needle Fragmentation

Using 15-20 to and fro gentle movements of the needle tip, the calcification will be fragmented, with the needle tip within the pseudocapsule. The needle tip will be retracted into the subacromial bursa and 3 ml of 0.5% sensorcaine and 1 ml of steroid ( Depomedrol- 40mg/ml) will be injected into the bursa. The needle will then be removed.

OTHER

US guided needle fragmentation & Lavage

Using local anesthetic and strict aseptic precautions, the tip of the 18-20 gauge needle will be advanced into the sub acromial bursa under ultrasound guidance and 2ml. of local anesthetic ( 1% xylocaine) will be injected into the bursa. The needle tip will be advanced into the supraspinatus tendon and ½ ml or less of 0.5% Sensorcaine will be injected into the pseudo capsule around the calcification. Using 15-20 to and fro gentle movements of the needle tip, the calcification will be fragmented, with the needle tip within the pseudo capsule. During this procedure, or after the fragmentation, using a syringe of saline or local anesthetic( 1% xylocaine) and with pumping action of the syringe the calcification with be sucked into the syringe.

OTHER

Ultrasound guided subacromial injection

Using local anesthetic and strict aseptic precautions, the tip of the 22 gauge needle will be advanced into the sub acromial bursa under ultrasound guidance and 4 ml. of local anesthetic ( 0.5% xylocaine) and 1 ml of steroid( Depomedrol 40 mg/ml) will be injected into the bursa. The needle will then be removed. Post procedure US images in the short and long axis planes will be obtained and documented. The patient's post procedure pain on a scale of 10 and their range of shoulder movement (abduction) will be assessed and documented.
