Objective: To investigate the short-term efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous interventional treatment for calcified tendinitis of the shoulder.Methods: A total of 50 patients diagnosed with calcified tendinitis of the shoulder underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous interventional treatment and were followed up at 1 week, 4 weeks, and 4 months postoperatively. Preoperative and postoperative assessments included ultrasound and X-ray examinations, as well as pain and shoulder function scoring. Changes in lesions on ultrasound and X-ray images were observed, and therapeutic efficacy was evaluated in combination with clinical signs.Results: All patients experienced significant pain relief after treatment, with marked reduction in Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) score and significant improvement in the Constant-Murley Score(CMS) for shoulder function(P<0.05). The extent of calcific lesions significantly decreased as early as 1 week post-treatment(P<0.05). Postoperative ultrasound findings showed reduced echogenicity of the calcific lesions, diminished posterior acoustic shadow, irregular morphology and significant resolution of edema. Corresponding X-ray findings revealed reduced density, smaller extent and blurred boundaries of the lesions.Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous interventional treatment provides a visualized approach for managing shoulder calcified tendinitis, significantly alleviating pain, improving shoulder joint functions, and achieving remarkable therapeutic effects. This technique is recommended for clinical application. |
