Calcific tendinopathy is characterized by the deposition of calcium, mostly hydroxyapatite crystals, in tendons. Women are more frequently affected than men, with prevalence in the fourth and fifth decades of life. This condition has been reported between 2.5 and 7.5% of healthy shoulders in adults, but other tendons may also be affected. A complication of this condition is the migration of calcium deposits from tendons, usually the supraspinatus, into the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa. We reported a rare complication of calcific tendinopathy, that is, calcium deposits migrated from the long head of the biceps tendon over the proximal tract of the biceps brachii muscle.
钙化性肌腱病的特征是在肌腱中沉积钙，主要是羟基磷灰石晶体。女性比男性更易受影响，发病高峰在生命的第四个和第五个十年。据报道，这种情况在成年人健康肩部中占2.5%至7.5%，但其他肌腱也可能受到影响。这种情况的一个并发症是钙沉积物从肌腱（通常是冈上肌）迁移到肩峰下-三角肌下滑囊。我们报告了一种钙化性肌腱病的罕见并发症，即钙沉积物从肱二头肌长头沿着肱二头肌近端迁移。
