La tendinite calcifica
Tóm tắt
Calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff is a benign pathology which usually heals spontaneously. The most important classification to better understand and treat this pathology was proposed by Uhthoff. In this classification, there are the pre-calcific, calcific and post-calcific stages. The calcific stage has three phases: formation, rest and resorption. The treatment of calcific tendinitis thus depends on the phase. Careful investigation of the patient’s history, X-ray analysis, and an objective examination lead to proper treatment for that phase. Therefore, it can vary from simple medical and physical therapy to needle aspiration with ultrasound, up to arthroscopic removal. However, when choosing the treatment, it is important to remember that the pathology is benign and tends to heal spontaneously, as demonstrated in many cases.
