  • Zaapnelost rotatorne manšete ramenskega sklepa = Calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder
    Fokter, Samo K.
    Background. Calcifying tendinitis is a common cause for shoulder pain. It is characterized by multifocal, cell-mediated calcification of a tendon, that is usually followed by spontaneous phagocytic ... resorbtion. Patients without improvement after months of conservative treatment and those with recurrence of the acute pain are treated with surgical removal of the calcium deposits. This retrospective study was designed to determine the one- to six-year outcome of surgery for this disease. Methods. Patients were considered eligible for this study is they had clinical and radiographic evidence of calcifying tendinitis of the shoulderm failed in symptomatic treatment and underwent surgical removal of the calcium deposits at our institution from 1992 to including 1997. The results were graded according the UCLA criteria. Results. Excellent or good result (UCLA > 27 scores from 35 possible) was achieved in 25 out of 31 treated patients (80.6%). Conclusions. Surgical treatment of patients with calcifying tendinitis in whom conseravtive treatment failed, mostly results in pain relief. The results are worse in workers' compensation cases.
