Cover Story: Calcific shoulder tendinopathy is a common condition involving the central part or insertion of the rotator cuff tendons or the subacromial–subdeltoid bursa. The calcific deposits consist of poorly crystallized calcium hydroxyapatite, but the mechanism of their formation still remains unclear. In particular, the disorder is asymptomatic or may cause mild discomfort during the deposition of calcium, while it becomes acutely painful during the resorptive phase. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous irrigation of calcific tendinopathy (US-PICT) is indicated in the acute phase of CT, with significant pain relief and a very low rate of minor complications. The aim of this manuscript is to define the rationale of US-PICT, correlating it with the sequence of biochemical processes that lead to the hydrolysis of hydroxyapatite. View this paper
