A television screen is used to guide the needle until it is in contact with the calcifications provoking the symptoms. Trituration and aspiration of the calcified lesions is followed by saturation with prolonged released corticoids of 41 shoulders treated, recovery or improvement was noted in 70% after one month, results being rated as excellent in 19 patients followed up for 3 months.
