목적: 견관절 충돌 증후군에서 초음파 영상을 이용한 견봉하 점액낭내 스테로이드 국소 주사의 임상적 결과를 후향적으로 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2006년 3월부터 2009년 4월까지 견관절 충돌 증후군으로 치료 받은 62명 66예의 견관절을 대상으로 하였다. 견관절 내회전으로 견봉하 점액낭을 앞쪽으로 위치하게 하는 변형 크라스 자세를 취하고 5~12 MHz 고해상도 초음파영상 감시하에 스테로이드를 점액낭내에 정확하게 주사 하였다. 주사 전과 후 1년 간의 임상적 결과를 평가 하였다. 주사 후 견관절 거상운동(shoulder elevation exercise)을 시행하였다. 1년 간 견관절의 운동범위와 동통 VAS 점수를 측정하였고 Neer/Hawkins 및 외전 내회전 충돌검사 등의 충돌 징후 검사를 하였다. 통계학적 검정은 SAS를 이용하여 ANOVA와 Tukey's post-hoc test로 유의성을 조사하였으며 유의 수준은 5%로 하였다. 결과: 시술 직 후, 6주, 3개월, 1년 후에 전 예에서 제한 없는 견관절 운동 범위를 나타내었다. VAS 점수는 시술 전 평균 6.47(2-10)점이, 시술 직 후 3.50(0-7)점으로 향상되었고, 6주째 평균 2.78(0-6), 3개월째 평균 2.83(0-6), 1년째는 평균 2.85(0-6)으로 시술 전 보다 의미 있게 향상되었다(p<0.0001). 1회 주사 직 후 전예에서 충돌징후가 나타나지 않았고, 6주 후 6예에서 다시 나타났으나 재주사 후 모두 사라졌다. 치료 초기와 1년 후 견관절 운동 범위, VAS 점수 및 충돌 징후 검사에서 임상적 결과의 향상을 나타내었고, 합병증은 발생하지 않았다. 결론: 초음파를 이용한 견봉하 점액낭내 스테로이드 주사로 치료한 모든 환자가 1년 추시 관찰한 결과 임상 증상이 호전되어 수술을 필요로 하지 않았으며, 견관절 충돌 증후군의 비수술적 치료로 매우 유용한 방법으로 생각된다.

Background: Although ultrasound-guided needle decompression (US-GND) can treat calcific tendinitis of the shoulder effectively, repeat procedures might be required for unresolved symptoms. We evaluated the overall clinical outcomes of US-GND with subacromial steroid injection and the final results and factors predisposing toward repeat procedures. Methods: Ninety-eight patients who underwent US-GND for calcific tendinitis of the supraspinatus/infraspinatus were analyzed between March 2017 and December 2018. The clinical outcomes (pain visual analog scale, functional visual analog scale [FVAS], and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons [ASES] score) and final subjective satisfaction were compared between groups A (single US-GND) and B (repeat US-GND). The factors predisposing toward repeated US-GNDs were analyzed. Results: We found that 59.3% (58/98) of patient ASES scores were ≥80, and 73.5% of patients (72/98) were satisfied with the outcome. Group B (n=14) demonstrated a significantly higher rate of dominant-arm involvement compared to group A (78.6% vs. 48.8%, p=0.046). However, initial calcification size, shape, number, density, subscapularis involvement, lavage, and procedure time did not differ significantly between the groups. Group B showed poorer final FVAS (7 [interquartile range, 6-8] vs. 8 [interquartile range, 7-9], p=0.036) and subjective satisfaction compared to group A (satisfied: 5 [35.7%] vs. 67 [79.8%], p<0.001]. Conclusions: US-GND with subacromial steroid injection is a viable treatment option for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. Dominant-arm involvement was the only independent factor for repeated US-GND. Final outcome of repeated US-GND for unimproved patients was promising; however, these outcomes were poor compared to those of the patients who improved after the first procedure.

Shoulder is a common site for calcific deposit and is frequently asymptomatic. There is a general agreement that calcific tendinitis should be initially treated nonoperatively and excision reserved for cases unresponsive to the conservative measures. There are several reports that arthroscopic excision of symptomatic calcific deposit is proved to be efficient in the calcific tendinitis refractory to nonoperative management. The results of arthroscopic treatment of chronic resistant calcific tendinitis of the shoulder in eleven patients were evaluated. Each patient had shoulder pain for more than one year prior to the arthroscopic surgery. The average age of the patients was 48 years(range 35-70). Arthroscopic calcium removal and subacromial bursectomy was performed in all patients. Arthroscopic acromioplasty was additionally done in four patients. The results turned out to be good in nine patients with full range of motion and complete pain relief. One patient with full motion and occcasional episodes of pain was satisfactory. One patient with persistent pain was unsatisfactory which converted to satisfactory six months later after subacromial injection. So we conclude that the arthroscopic treatment is a reasonable alternative in treatment of the chronic calcific tendinitis resistant to conservative treatment.

Background: Given the complications involved in corticosteroid (CS) injections, subacromial platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections may provide a valid alternative to CS in the treatment of rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a total of 98 patients affected by RC tendinopathy who were treated with either subacromial injection of PRP or CS. The PRP group received three injections of autologous PRP at 2 weeks interval, and the CS group received one injection of CS. The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) was the primary outcome measure, while the secondary outcome measures were the visual analog scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), and need for cuff repair surgery, which were analyzed at intervals of 6, 12, and 18 months. Results: A total of 75 patients were included in the analysis (PRP, n=35; CS, n=40). The mean follow-up for PRP was 21.1±8.7 months and for CS was 33.6±16.3 months (p<0.001). Both groups showed improvement in WORC, VAS, and ROM. No significant differences were detected between the two groups in any of the primary (WORC) or secondary outcomes over 6, 12, and 18 months (all p>0.05). No adverse events were detected. Conclusions: Both treatments improved patient symptoms, but neither resulted in a significantly better outcome in this series of patients. PRP can be a safe and feasible alternative to CS, even at long-term follow-up, to reduce local and systemic effects involved with CS injections.

Purpose : To analyze the outcome after barbotage and subacromial corticosteroid injection in acute pain attack with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. Materials and Methods : Twenty-two patients with acute calcific tendinitis were analyzed with average follow-up of Twenty-two months. The shape and size of calcific deposits were classified. The outcome was assessed by UCLA shoulder score and pain in visual analogue scale(VAS). Results : Sixteen patients(73%) had permanent relief of pain. The results assessed by UCLA score were excellent in fourteen patients and good in two patients. Average VAS for pain was 0.6 ± 0.73 (range:0-2). No complication was enccpuntered, but six patients underwent surgical treatment due to lack of improvement or recurrence. Conclusion : Barbotage as a primary treatment in acute calcific tendinits of the shoulder is simple and effective, and therefore should be tried before surgical intervention.

Background: Common and effective treatments for calcific tendinitis involve needling procedures. However, it has been widespread practice to refer patients with calcific tendinitis, which is a predominantly orthopedic condition, to radiology department. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes after ultrasound-guided needling for calcific tendinitis between the orthopedics and radiology department. Methods: Seventy-seven shoulders (Group 1) and 38 shoulders (Group 2) treated in the radiology and orthopedic department, respectively. A fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon and a musculoskeletal radiologist each performed the procedure of ultrasound-guided needle decompression with subacromial steroid injection. Clinical outcomes was evaluated using the visual analogue scale for pain (pVAS) and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder score before treatment and at each follow-up. The pre- and postneedling size and shape of the calcific deposits were compared between the two groups. Results: We analyzed a total of 56 shoulders for Group 1 and 32 shoulders for Group 2. The mean age and sex ratio of the patients no significantly different. We found that the mean decrease in the diameter of calcification between pre- and post-needling was 9.0 mm for Group 1 and 13.1 mm for Group 2; the difference was significantly larger in Group 2 than in Group 1. Both groups showed improved pVAS and ASES scores after needling but the extent of these improvements did not differ with the type of operator. Conclusions: Needling decompression performed by orthopedic surgeons could a viable option for the treatment of calcific tendinitis.

Background: The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between the amount of pain reduction after local anesthetic injection into the subacromial space preoperatively and clinical outcome after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods: A total of 127 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and followed up at least 1 year were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperatively, a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain was measured in all patients before and after the ultrasound guided impingement test. The participants were divied into four groups according to pain reduntion ater impingement test (Group A: >75%, Group B: 50%-75%, Group C: 25%-50%, Group D: <25%). VAS for pain, shoulder range of motion, shoulder isometric strength, ASES score were evaluated preoperatively and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. Results: After surgery, the amount of pain reduction shows significantly at 3, 6 months in Groups A, B as compared to Groups C, D (p<0.05). Among the range of motion of shoulder joint, forward flexion was significantly improved in Group A at 3 months (p<0.05). The ASES score significantly improved at 3, 6 months in Groups A, B as compared to Group C, D (p<0.05). Conclusions: Preoperative degree of pain reduction after impingement test correlates with the improvement of pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, especially in the early phase. Therefore, the impingement test could be effectively used.
