Summary

Calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain. Ultrasound guided percutaneous lavage (UGPL or barbotage or irrigation) of calcific tendinopathy is indicated when conservative treatments (physiotherapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) have failed. Our hypothesis is that lavage followed by intra-calcic injection of STS could fasten the dissolution of the calcific deposit. In view of the short half-life of this molecule the investigators hypothesize that this would happen within the first month after the procedure. Therefore, the investigatorschose to assess our primary objective at 1 month. Few studies have evaluated the short-term radiographic evolution after lavage.
