Abstract;A report of a calcified tendinitis with a drooping shoulder is rare. We report a case reduced in the fourth postoperative week. The patient was 53-year-old-woman, who companied of a strange feeling in her the right shoulder accompanied by ache, and motion pain at night. We recognized a crepitus on elevation at the anterior part of the acromion. A radiograph in anteroposterior view showed drooping shoulder with calcareous deposition of 20*9mm between the acromion and the humeral head. We excised the calcium deposit by the Mini Open method for subacromial decompression and distal clavicle resection. We reconstructed the defect of the cuff tendon by Twinfix. The cause of the drooping shoulder seemed to be supraspinatus and deltoid muscle dysfunction. (author abst.)
