Video Summary
Dr. Rick Lawley, an assistant professor at Loyola University, discusses ultrasound findings and treatments for calcific tendinopathy in shoulder tendons. The case focuses on the supraspinatus tendon, highlighting the ultrasound imaging techniques to locate calcifications, which appear as hyperechoic rims with hypoechoic cores. The common treatment, barbotage, involves needling and lavage to help dissolve the calcification. Results showed improvement post-procedure, though repeat treatments may be needed. Additional cases indicate varied calcification appearances and treatment outcomes. The presentation effectively demonstrates diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for calcific shoulder issues.
