Objective: Subacromial injection (SAI), due to its ease of application and increased patient tolerability, is one the preferred invasive therapies. In this study, we aimed evaluate effectiveness ultrasound-guided SAI in patients with supraspinatus calcific tendinitis by assessment roentgenograms clinical appraisal. Patients Methods: Thirty-five tendon calcifications as revealed roentgenography ...

We report the case of a patient with a long standing clinical history of subacromial impingement, in which plain radiographs and CT-scan revealed a well-circumscribed lucent lesion expanding the undersurface of the acromion. MRI showed the subacromial fat to be completely obliterated and the infraspinatus tendon deformed due to compression by a mass localised at the acromion. The acromial lesio...

Methods An incremental cost–utility analysis using patient responses to the five-level EuroQoL-5D (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire was undertaken from a healthcare perspect...
