[Contribution to surgical treatment of tendinosis calcarea of the shoulder (author's transl)].
The article is based on the results obtained in 13 patients who were operated within a period of 25 months in 14 joints for calcareous tendinosis of the rotator cuff. The article concentrates on the technique of the minor and largely safe surgical procedure and describes the operative results obtained. Surgery should be performed in all cases where conservative treatment continued for 6 months has remained unsuccessful, the complaints in question being definitely attributable to the calcareous focus.
