Purpose. To improve the results of treatment of patients with calcific tendonitis of the shoulder through the use of differentiated treatment tactics. Material and methods. For the study, a prospective and retrospective analysis of the treatment data of 82 patients with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, who underwent inpatient treatment at the Mogilev Regional Hospital and the Minsk City Clinical Hospital No. 6 from 2012 to 2017, was made. Of these, 38 patients (46.3 %) underwent surgical treatment, 44 patients (53.7 %) – conservative. Results. Based on the study, a direct correlation can be found between the Bigliani-Morrison type of acromial process and the likelihood of developing clinical manifestations of calcific tendinitis of the shoulder (type 2 in 73.7 %, type 3 acromion in 26.3 % of patients). Acromionoplasty is an effective measure to improve the parameters of objective function and subjective sensations in patients of this group. When evaluated on the UCLA scale, 65 (79.3 %) patients rated the result as excellent, 12 (14.6 %) as good, 5 (6.1 %) as satisfactory. Conclusion. The applied approach to the treatment of patients has demonstrated its effectiveness in the absolute majority of cases.
