This document provides information about calcific tendinitis, which is a self-limiting disorder where calcium deposits form in the rotator cuff tendons, most commonly the supraspinatus tendon. It affects those over 30 years old and women more than men. The deposits go through phases of precalcification, calcification, and postcalcification. Conservative treatment includes exercises and anti-inflammatories, while corticosteroid injections and surgery are options if conservative measures fail. The surgical techniques discussed are ultrasound-guided needle removal, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and arthroscopic shaver removal.
