Abstract

Focused shock waves are a frequently used non-invasive therapeutic option for the treatment of rotator cuff calcifications. Over the last 30 years, numerous studies have been published that support its high level of recommendation. Reports of complications are isolated and very infrequent. In this communication, we analyze why there are no valid arguments to relate the application of shock waves with rotator cuff injuries.
Keywords: Shock wave, Rotator Cuff, Complications
