High-speed burr debulking of digital calcinosis cutis in scleroderma patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the functional outcome after removal of digital calcinosis cutis in patients with scleroderma using a high-speed burr.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of 9 consecutively enrolled scleroderma patients who underwent surgery by the senior author. A debulking procedure using a high-speed micro-burr to soften and express calcific material in digits was performed.

The anatomy of the superior labrum and biceps origin in the fetal shoulder.
