Abstract:
Isolated rupture of infraspinatus after barbotage for calcific tendinitis has not been reported in the literature. We report on a case of isolated infraspinatus rupture and suprascapular nerve neuropathy after steroid injection and barbotage of calcific tendinitis in rotator cuff. At 6-month follow-up after surgery, satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes were observed with daily activity level. The author reports this case and review the literature.
