2009, Joint Bone SpineCitation Excerpt :We have realized the first randomized study comparing 2 removal techniques of shoulder calcifications, one under bursoscopy and the other with needling, that we named more exactly needling–fragmentation–irrigation, versus a control group. The first surgical removal of these tendinous shoulder calcifications was carried out with conventional surgery, associating acromioplasty with or without removal of the calcification [38–40]. Wittenberg retrospectively found better results in the long term in a series of 50 operated patients paired with 50 non-operated comparable patients [41].
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Intervention: Principles and Advances
2009, Ultrasound ClinicsCitation Excerpt :However, access to lithotripter equipment is limited and is less available than ultrasound imaging. Open or arthroscopic surgery currently provides the greatest long-term relief in terms of substantial or complete clinical improvement with num-erous studies reporting between 76.9% and 100% good or excellent results.49,63–73 However, surgery may be complicated by prolonged postsurgical disability and reflex sympathetic dystrophy.52,63,74–76
