BACKGROUND: to evaluate the short and long term effectiveness of ultrasonography (US)-guided percutaneous needle lavage in @entity730 @entity924 of the rotator cuff. To study the evolution of the size of calcifications and @entity158 in the two years after treatment. METHODS:                 <AbstractText Label="STUDY DESIGN" NlmCategory="METHODS">A 2 year longitudinal prospective study is carried out after applying the UGPL technique on a number of @entity1 diagnosed with @entity730 of the rotator cuff. Clinical, ultrasound and radiology follow-up controls were performed, 3 months, 6 months, one year and two years after the treatment. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to assess the @entity158 . The degree and point of @entity158 is selected on a 10 cm line, arranged horizontally or vertically. The "0" represents no @entity158 and "10" represents @entity158 . The population studied was made up of 121 @entity1 that required our service as a result of suffering from a painful shoulder. RESULTS: the @entity158 (VAS) and the size of the @entity730 significantly decreased with the application of the technique (p< 0,001 in both cases) and regardless of the sex (p: 0.384 for @entity158 and p: 0.578 for the size of the @entity730 ). This occurred from the first check-up (3 months) and was maintained for two year. CONCLUSIONS: we consider this technique to be a valid alternative as a first-choice treatment of @entity730 of the shoulder. The intervention is simple, cost-effective, does not require hospitalization, involves no complications, rehabilitation treatment is not required and it shows very few side effects without sequelae, significantly reducing the size of the @entity730 and @entity158 in the majority of @entity1 .

Treatment of the @entity730 XXXX of the rotator cuff by ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle lavage. Two years prospective study.
