Purpose : The patients who have Supraspinatus tendinitis, Lateral epicondylitis, Achilles tendinitis are our targets, so we want to know their opinions in order to take Sono-graphic tests and to study utility value of Sono-graphic. Object and Methods : The case of 30 patients with Tendinitis results, we classified with three categories, Supraspinatus tendinitis, Lateral epicondylitis and Achilles tendinitis. Case by case, before medical treatment, we executed the inspections which are Sound side and Affected side. After 4 weeks of medical treatment, we executed the inspection which is Sono-graphic. Objectively comparing with Sono-graphic, we measured VAS(Visual Analog Scale) before and after physical therapy. Results : We could learn that VAS (Visual Analog Scale) and Sono-graphic wore decreased about changing the lesion area of each disease. For example, Supraspinatus tendinitis is from case 1 and case 2, Lateral epicondylitis is from case 8, case 9 and case 10, Achilles tendinitis is from case 16, case 17 and case 18. Conclusion : About organization of complicated anatomy, we could learn general ideas about Supraspinatus tendinitis, Lateral epicondylitis, Achilles tendinitis. And finally the results which appeared between the decrements of VAS and Sono-graphic are similar.

Calcific tendinitis is the leading cause of shoulder pain. Among patients with calcific tendinitis, 2.7%-20% are asymptomatic, and 35%-45% of patients whose calcific deposits are inadvertently discovered develop shoulder pain. If symptoms are present, complications such as decreased range of motion of the shoulder joint should be minimized while managing pain. Patients with acute calcific tendinitis respond well to conservative treatment and rarely require surgery. In contrast, patients with chronic calcific tendinitis often do not respond to conservative treatment and do require surgery. Clinical improvement takes time, even after surgical treatment. This review article summarizes the processes related to the diagnosis and treatment of calcific tendinitis with the aim of helping clinicians choose appropriate treatment options for their patients.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the fire needling therapy treatment on the biceps tendinitis. Methods : Fire needling therapy was administered five times to the patient complaining with biceps tendinitis. The improvement of clinical symptom was evaluated by McGill Pain Questionnaire -Short Form(SF-MPQ), Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) and Shoulder Pain, and Disability Index (SPADI). Result : After fire needling therapy to the biceps tendinitis patient five times, the patient's SF-MPQ score, VAS, and SPADI improved from 24 to 11, from 9 to 4, and from 33.6 to 14.8 respectively. Conclusions : Fire needling for biceps tendinitis should be tested in future randomized clinical trials.

Calcific tendinitis usually occurs in the supraspinatus tendon of the shoulder. Calcific tendinitis of the peroneus longus tendon has not been reported on the Korean journals. Differential diagnosis includes bipartitis os peroneum, os peroneum fracture and peroneal tendinitis. We report a rare case of calcific tendinitis of the peroneus longus tendon which responded well with the conservative treatment.

Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder joint, also known as chemical furuncle of the shoulder, causes intense shoulder pain and usually occurs within 1-2 cm from the insertion of the rotator cuff. We experienced a rare case of calcific tendinitis in the posterosuperior labrum of the shoulder joint in a 39-year-old male patient who presented with severe pain and weakness in the right shoulder. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings showed calcific tendinitis in the posterosuperior labrum of the shoulder joint. A 1-week attempt at conservative treatment failed, so the calcified deposit in the posterosuperior labrum was arthroscopically removed. The patient's symptoms were completely relieved, and satisfactory clinical outcomes were achieved. Postoperative follow-up X-ray and MRI showed no recurrence of calcific tendinitis.

본 연구는 아킬레스 건염 환자들과 정상인들을 대상으로 보행 선형지표와 고관절, 슬관절, 그리고 족관절의 모멘트 변화를 조사하여 아킬레스 건염에 의한 보행의 역학적 변화를 구명하고 아킬레스 건염을 예방하기 위한 예측인자들을 찾고자 실시되었다. 연구의 대상자는 아킬레스 건염 환자 20명과 비슷한 신체조건을 가진 건강한 정상인 20명이며, 대상자가 맨발 상태에서 힘판의 중앙 부분을 밟고 지나가도록 13 m의 거리를 편안한 속도로 5회 왕복하도록 하였다. 또한 대상자가 보행하는 동안 3차원 동작분석 장비를 이용하여 고관절, 슬관절, 그리고 족관절 모멘트를 산출하였다. 수집된 자료들을 SPSS 12.0 소프트웨어를 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구의 결과 아킬레스 건염 환자들의 고관절은 입각기 초기에 신전 모멘트가 감소하였고, 중후반에는 굴곡 모멘트가 감소하였다. 또한 슬관절에서는 입각기 초기부터 지속적인 굴곡 모멘트의 감소가 나타났으며 후기에는 신전 모멘트의 감소를 보였다. 그리고 족관절은 입각기 중반에 저측굴곡 모멘트가 감소하였으며 말기에는 배측 굴곡 모멘트가 감소하였다. 정상인과 비교해 아킬레스 건염 환자들에게서 보행의 역학적인 변화가 두드러지게 나타났으며, 임상에서는 아킬레스 건염 환자의 보행에 대한 변화를 세밀하게 파악하여 치료적 접근을 시도해야 할 것으로 보인다. 그리고 앞으로의 연구에서는 아킬레스 건염 환자에게서 나타나는 역학적인 변화에 대한 조사가 더 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to report the patient diagnosed as calcific tendinitis located at supraspinatus, who improved by Oriental medical treatment, through analysis of radiograph. Methods : The patient was managed by acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping without medication and physical therapy. We measured the shoulder state by radiograph and evaluated with UCLA shoulder rating scale. Results : After 5 week treatment, the pain of patient and The UCLA functional average score was improved. Also we found that the deposits of calcific tendinitis was almost disappeared in radiograph. Conclusions : The results suggest that acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping can be effective in reducing the pain and the deposits of calcific tendinitis. We think that it need the further study and clinical trial for calcific tendinitis.

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: Ultrasound (US)-guided techniques reported for the treatment of calcific tendinitis have mostly demonstrated good results. This study investigates the effect of US-guided barbotage using a spinal needle in patients with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. Methods: Thirty-six patients with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder treated by US-guided barbotage with a spinal needle and subacromial steroid injection were included in the study. We evaluated clinical outcomes based on American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant score, and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain score. Radiological outcomes were assessed by X-ray imaging at each visit. Results: Our results showed that US-guided barbotage and subacromial steroid injection produced good clinical and radiological outcomes in patients with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. Of the 36 patients, only one required surgical treatment, while the others showed improvement without any complications. Compared to values before the procedure, calcific deposit size and VAS, ASES, and Constant scores showed significant improvement 6 weeks after the procedure. No significant correlation was found between the initial calcific deposit size and clinical outcomes at each time point. Conclusions: In patients with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, US-guided barbotage using a spinal needle and subacromial steroid injection can yield satisfactory clinical and radiological results.
