Calcific tendinitis of the proximal thigh causes pain and must be differentiated from serious conditions. Computed tomography-guided steroid injection can benefit patients with persistent symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Musculoskeletal Diseases

Background:

  • Calcific tendinitis is a benign condition affecting tendons.
  • Proximal thigh involvement can mimic serious pathologies.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • This study reviewed 5 cases of calcific tendinitis of the proximal thigh.
  • Clinical and radiographic features were analyzed.
  • Patients presented with significant pain and limited mobility.

Findings:

  • Calcific tendinitis of the proximal thigh requires differentiation from arthritis, infection, and neoplasms.
  • While often self-limiting, some cases necessitate intervention.
  • Computed tomography-guided percutaneous steroid injection demonstrated efficacy.

Implications:

  • CT-guided steroid injection offers a minimally invasive treatment option.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention can improve patient outcomes.
  • This approach aids in distinguishing benign tendinitis from malignant disorders.
