Therapeutic targets Reduction of pain Increase in the ability to move Therapy recommendations Anti-inflammatory drugs (drugs that inhibit inflammatory processes; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs), e.g. acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), ibuprofen. If necessary, injection of local anesthetics (local anesthesia) and / or steroids (glucocorticoids) under the acromion (subacromial infiltration). See also under “Further therapy“. Further notes The … Tendon Calcification (Tendinosis Calcarea): Drug Therapy
Obligatory medical device diagnostics. Radiograph of the affected tendon or region, in two planes – to localize the calcific deposit and to assess its extent. Sonography (ultrasound examination) of the affected tendon or affected region – to localize the calcific deposit and to assess the extent. Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results … Tendon Calcification (Tendinosis Calcarea): Diagnostic Tests
If spontaneous healing (self-healing) fails to occur or if conservative therapies do not produce the desired results, pain persists or is chronic (> 6 months), and in cases of larger calcified foci (diameter > 1 cm), surgical therapy should be considered. Removal of the calcium foci relieves pressure, which also relieves severe pain. The removal … Tendon Calcification (Tendinosis Calcarea): Surgical Therapy

Painful arc (“painful arc”) – In this case, pain … Tendon Calcification (Tendinosis Calcarea): Symptoms, Complaints, Signs
Pathogenesis (disease development) Tendinosis calcarea is thought to result from degenerative processes, such as those triggered by reduced blood flow to the tendon attachment to bone. Mechanical causes such as an anatomically narrow space may also promote degeneration. It is likely that the development of calcifications is multifactorial. The calcification foci can cause discomfort due … Tendon Calcification (Tendinosis Calcarea): Causes
General measures In the acute phase of the disease: bed rest or physical rest. Review of permanent medication due topossible effect on the existing disease.
