Treatment Protocol for Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendinitis Using a Single-Crystal Piezoelectric Focused Shock Wave Source

Focused shock waves have emerged as a highly effective noninvasive therapeutic option for the treatment of calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. There are ...

Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal pathologies. Treatment by ESWT (extracorporeal shockwave therapy) has emerged as an alternative when conservative treatment fails in rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy, prior to invasive procedures. The clinical efficacy of ESWT in non-calcific tendinopathy remains controversial. The good results in the treatment of rotator cuff calcifications, have led to indications of ESWT being expanded to other shoulder pathologies. We review the current state of indications and evidence based practice.

Current knowledge on evidence-based shockwave treatments for shoulder pathology.

Incorrect methodology may favor ultrasound-guided needling over shock wave treatment in calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder.

Importance of the Correct Use of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy.

The Role of Extracorporeal Shockwave Treatment in Musculoskeletal Disorders.

Is hyaluronic injection really better than shockwave treatment for painful non-calcified rotator cuff tendinopathies? Think again….

The medial coracoclavicular ligament (MCCL), is a structure that shows defined morphologic and histologic features. However, little attention has been paid to the MCCL to date. This study was conducted to (1) determine whether the MCCL is a constant structure, (2) analyze its mechanical properties, and (3) determine its possible role in acromioclavicular (AC) stability.

The medial coracoclavicular ligament: anatomy, biomechanics,and clinical relevance-a research study.

The application of focused shockwaves and radial pressure waves in musculoskeletal pathology has had a great development in the last decade. Although most of the publications have highlighted their safety and efficacy, poor results and complications can occur. This review analyzes the main causes of its poor results, adverse effects, and complications, emphasizing their prevention.
