    OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this video article is to illustrate is a common disabling cause of shoulder pain. Although most cases
    the ultrasound appearance of calcium deposition in the rotator cuff are self-limiting, a subset of patients is refractory to conservative
    and provide a detailed step-by-step protocol for performing the ul- therapy and requires treatment intervention. Ultrasound-guided la-
    trasound-guided single-needle lavage technique for the treatment of vage is an effective and safe minimally-invasive treatment not read-
    calcific tendinitis with emphasis on patient positioning, necessary ily offered in the United States as an alternative to surgery, perhaps
    supplies, real-time lavage technique, and steroid injection into the because of the limited prevalence of musculoskeletal ultrasound pro-
    subacromial subdeltoid bursa. grams and limited training. On completion of this video article, the
    CONCLUSION. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is well established participant should be able to develop an appropriate diagnostic and
    as a safe, cost-effective imaging tool in diagnosing and treating com- therapeutic algorithm for the treatment of calcific tendinitis of the
    mon musculoskeletal disorders. Calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff rotator cuff using ultrasound.
