“…In the resorptive stage, migration of calcifications to adjacent tissues can occur, which causes excruciating pain, more severe limited mobility, but also hyperesthesia, and redness of the surrounding skin, as well as increased body temperature. The causes of these migrations are not known, it is assumed that they are mechanical (5)(6)(7)(8).…”

Introduction: Shoulder calcification, also known as calcific tendinopathy, is a common cause of shoulder pain, typically occurring between the ages of 30 and 50. It is approximately twice as common in women compared to men. The pathogenesis of the disease is not well understood, and it exhibits a cyclic nature. Objective: To investigate and assess the impact of ultrasound and manual therapy on reducing shoulder calcifications. Materials and Methods: This study, conducted at the Rehabilitation Center "Život" in Mostar from May to July 2023, involved 30 participants. Statistical analysis, using Microsoft Excel 2010 and IBM SPSS 23.0, included descriptive and inferential statistics, revealing significant insights into participants' perspectives and forming thebasis for a comprehensive discussion. Results: The research results demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pain intensity after therapy, both in men and women. Additionally, calcification size significantly decreased, and shoulder range ofmotion improved. Analysis of demographic factors revealed differences between female and male participants, emphasizing the prompt seeking of therapy after the onset of pain.Conclusion: The combination of ultrasound and manual therapy shows promising effectiveness in treating shoulder calcifications, laying the groundwork for further study and personalized clinical practice.Keywords:calcification in the shoulder, manual therapy, ultrasound therapy.Correspondence: Darko Bilić, Master of Physiotherapy

“…In the resorptive stage, phagocytosis of the calcific deposits with increased intratendinous pressure may cause extrusion of calcifications from the tendon [3,4]. Although some authors described uncommon migration of calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff [3,[5][6][7][8], the most up-to-date articles on this topic have reported migration of calcific tendinitis to a single location, especially bone involvement [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Moreover, there is a lack of information on sequential changes in the calcification associated with calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff throughout the course of the disease and the clinical significance of those changes.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the imaging findings and clinical characteristics of extratendinous migration of calcific tendinitis of the shoulder with temporal changes.Methods: Seventy-six patients with extratendinous calcific tendinitis of the shoulder diagnosed by ultrasonography (US) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were enrolled in this retrospective study. Clinical symptoms and imaging findings (on radiography, US, and MRI) of extratendinous calcific tendinitis during an acute painful attack were analyzed. Temporal changes were analyzed in 28 patients before an acute attack and 40 patients after an acute attack. For comparison, 65 patients with intratendinous calcific tendinitis were included.Results: Patients with extratendinous calcific tendinitis had a significantly higher average visual analogue scale (VAS) score (8.8±1.6) than the intratendinous group (6.4±2.2) (P<0.001). The fragmented type (80.5%) was the most common shape on US; sonographic black hole appearance (14.6%) and echogenic fluid (9.8%) were characteristic findings of intrabursal calcifications. In 28 patients with previous radiographs, radiographic type III (78.6%) was dominant and the location of calcific deposits changed (82.1%) during the acute painful attack, which was also perceivable in 12 patients with previous US or MRI. In follow-up radiographs of 40 patients, calcifications shrunk by more than 50% or became invisible in 82.5% of patients, with symptom improvement (VAS score, 8.9±1.5 to 1.9±1.2). Follow-up US and MRI of 16 patients also showed decreased size (56.3%) or disappearance (43.7%) of calcific deposits.Conclusion: Extratendinous calcific tendinitis has distinctive imaging features, the temporal changes of which correlate well with clinical symptoms.
