MODEL RELEASED. Shoulder arthroscopy. Image 1 of 4. Surgeon injecting the shoulder of a patient affected by calcific tendinitis,prior to performing an arthroscopic procedure. Calcific tendinitis occurs when deposits of hydroxyapatite (crystalline calcium phosphate) form in a tendon,causing pain and inflammation. This usually occurs in the tendons of the rotator cuff (shoulder),but can occur in any tendon of the body. Arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive procedure (keyhole surgery) where a fibre optic camera is used to guide surgery of the affected area. Here it will be used to remove the calcified deposits from the joint | |
