| Summary: | Calcific periarthritis is a benign but painful inflammatory process associated with periarticular deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite. It most commonly affects the rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. Ultrasound-guided barbotage is a safe procedure with a high success rate in treating calcific tendonitis of the shoulder. Calcific periarthritis of the hand is a relatively rare entity. We report a case of a woman with calcific periarthritis in the hand, highlighting its successful management with ultrasound-guided barbotage. This case adds to the few case reports showing the efficacy of barbotage in atypical locations. |
