Understanding Barbotage

Barbotage, also known as ultrasound-guided needling or lavage, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat calcific tendinopathy—a condition marked by the accumulation of calcium deposits within tendons, most commonly in the shoulder rotator cuff.

At REGENIQUE, Dr. Tushar B Munnoli performs barbotage using real-time ultrasound imaging to precisely locate and target the calcium deposits. A fine needle is inserted into the deposit, and a mixture of saline and/or local anaesthetic is injected to dissolve and flush out the calcium buildup. The needle may be gently moved to further break apart the deposit for easier removal.

This procedure is typically recommended when conservative treatments like physiotherapy, rest, or anti-inflammatory medications fail to relieve symptoms.
