The purpose of this study is to determine whether minimally invasive treatments like ultrasound guided needle fragmentation with and without lavage is associated with better clinical outcomes compared to the subacromial bursal corticosteroid injection treatment only.
The objectives of this study are to compare the clinical outcomes of the three treatment arms: ultrasound guided needle fragmentation with lavage, ultrasound guided needle fragmentation without lavage, and subacromial bursal corticosteroid injection treatment. The study design is a randomized control trial.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultrasound guided Needle Fragmentation | Active Comparator | Ultrasound guided Needle Fragmentation (Intervention): Using 15-20 to and fro gentle movements of the needle tip, the calcification will be fragmented, with the needle tip within the pseudocapsule. The needle tip will be retracted into the subacromial bursa and 3 ml of 0.5% sensorcaine and 1 ml of steroid ( Depomedrol- 40mg/ml) will be injected into the bursa. The needle will then be removed. |
|
| US guided needle fragmentation & Lavage | Active Comparator | Using local anesthetic and strict aseptic precautions, the tip of the 18-20 gauge needle will be advanced into the sub acromial bursa under ultrasound guidance and 2ml. of local anesthetic ( 1% xylocaine) will be injected into the bursa. The needle tip will be advanced into the supraspinatus tendon and ½ ml or less of 0.5% Sensorcaine will be injected into the pseudo capsule around the calcification. Using 15-20 to and fro gentle movements of the needle tip, the calcification will be fragmented, with the needle tip within the pseudo capsule. During this procedure, or after the fragmentation, using a syringe of saline or local anesthetic( 1% xylocaine) and with pumping action of the syringe the calcification with be sucked into the syringe. |
|
| Ultrasound guided subacromial injection | Placebo Comparator | Using local anesthetic and strict aseptic precautions, the tip of the 22 gauge needle will be advanced into the sub acromial bursa under ultrasound guidance and 4 ml. of local anesthetic ( 0.5% xylocaine) and 1 ml of steroid( Depomedrol 40 mg/ml) will be injected into the bursa. The needle will then be removed. Post procedure US images in the short and long axis planes will be obtained and documented. The patient's post procedure pain on a scale of 10 and their range of shoulder movement (abduction) will be assessed and documented. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Decrease in Pain as measured by the Visual analog scale from 1-10 | Pain in the original symptomatic area of the rotator cuff will be reassessed using the visual analog scale from 1-10 (1 being the lowest pain and 10 being the highest) | 8 months |
| Decreased Range of Motion in the shoulder measured in degrees | Abduction, internal rotation, external rotation and circumduction of the shoulder | 8 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Complications and co existing conditions not detected prior to the procedure | Infection, procedure induced tendon tears, reduced range of motion ( from other causes such as frozen shoulder), and other adverse events | Post ultrasound guided procedure through completion of study, up to one year |
| Costs and health resource utilization as measured by administrative and billing data related to treatment |
