title: Perioperative ultrasound-guided wire marking of calcific deposits in calcifying tendinitis of the rotator cuff.
abstract: The identification of a calcific deposit in the rotator cuff can often cause difficulties. A new technique is described to identify the calcific deposit perioperatively with a ultrasound-guided wire. The technique allows a safe direct marking of calcific deposits making the procedure faster especially in difficult cases.
