Summary: The study suggests that non-standardized physiotherapy after UGPI treatment may not provide additional clinical benefits in short and medium term for patients with RCCT. Symptoms may recur on average after 13 weeks.

Summary: The use of singlecrystal piezoelectric generators in the treatment of calcific tendinitis of the shoulder has shown comparable results to other types of generators, with significant calcification resorption in most cases.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effect of US-guided needling (UGN) to UGN plus Biocompatible Electrical Neurostimulation (BEN) in the treatment of calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder (CTS). The results showed significant improvement in self-perceived functional performance and reduction of shoulder pain in both groups, with a multiplicative effect observed.

Summary: Sarcopenia is significantly associated with shoulder pain and consistent tendinopathic changes in the supraspinatus tendons in sarcopenic patients. However, sarcopenia is less likely to be associated with serious rotator cuff pathology, such as tendon tears.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the treatment effect of ultrasound-guided percutaneous irrigation for painful calcific tendinopathy (US-PICT). The results showed that US-PICT can safely and effectively reduce pain even in atypical locations outside of the rotator cuff.

Summary: In a cohort of patients with shoulder pain, older age, involvement of the dominant shoulder, and a higher body mass index were found to be independently associated with rotator cuff tears. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind these associations.

Summary: PRP injection was shown to be a safe and effective intervention for long-term pain control and shoulder function in patients with rotator cuff disorders. However, studies varied in PRP techniques and control interventions.

Summary: This study compared the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a progressive exercise programme with physiotherapy advice for rotator cuff disorders, and found no significant difference in improvement over 12 months. Additionally, corticosteroid injections did not provide any long-term benefits to patients with rotator cuff disorders.

Summary: This study found that the use of UA-ADRCs injections for sPTRCT treatment is more effective than corticosteroid injections in the long run and carries no greater risks. Subjects in the UA-ADRCs group showed significantly higher ASES Total scores.

Summary: This study aims to report the rate of biceps-related complications after LHB tenotomy, investigate related risk factors, and their influence on the outcome. The results showed that younger age, male sex, higher BMI, manual work, and single tendon tears are risk factors associated with the development of biceps-related symptoms during the first year after tenotomy in association with rotator cuff repair. However, the clinical influence of these symptoms on shoulder outcomes is limited.
