摘要

Rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy is one of the most common causes of chronic shoulder pain and is characterized by the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals in the tendons of the rotator cuff. The progression is staged. Natural spontaneous healing is possible in most cases due to resorption of the calcium deposit, but can take up to 2–3 years. The clinical appearance of calcific shoulder is multiform and can mimic the entire range of clinical shoulder complaints. The most important imaging procedure of choice is the X‑ray of the shoulder in 2 planes. The treatment of Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendinopathy is primarily conservative. The success rate of conservative treatment is 70–80%. As a rule, surgery is recommended for patients who have not achieved satisfactory relief of symptoms after at least 6 months of conservative treatment.
