  text: "Purpose\r\nCalcifying tendinitis is a common condition of the shoulder. In
    many cases, arthroscopic reduction in the deposit is indicated. The localization
    of the deposit is sometimes challenging and time-consuming. Pre-operative ultrasound
    (US)-guided needle placement in the deposit and pre-operative US marking of the
    deposit at the skin with a ballpoint are described and recommended methods to
    alleviate the procedure without using ionizing radiation by fluoroscopy.\r\nMethods\r\nIntra-operative
    sonography of the shoulder is introduced as a new method to localize the calcific
    deposit with high accuracy. After standard arthroscopic buresectomy, the surgeon
    performs an ultrasound examination under sterile conditions to localize the deposits.
    A ventral longitudinal US section is recommended, and the upper arm is rotated
    until the deposit is visible. Subsequently, perpendicular to the skin at the position
    of the transducer, a needle is introduced under arthroscopic and ultrasound visualization
    to puncture the deposit.\r\nResults\r\nThe presence of snow-white crystals at
    the tip of the needle proves the exact localization. Consecutively, the curettage
    can be accomplished. Another intra-operative sonography evaluates possible calcific
    remnants and the tendon structure.\r\nConclusion\r\nThis new technique may alleviate
    arthroscopic calcific deposit curettage by visualizing the deposit without using
    ionizing radiation. Additionally, soft tissue damage due to decreased number of
    punctures to detect the deposit may be achieved. Both factors may contribute to
    reduced operation time."
