Calcium deposits, mainly in the rotator cuffs are associated with narrowing of the sub-acromial space in shoulder joint. Local irregularities or foci of whitish discoloration may indicate a calcium deposit. While inspection, it may look like a hard deposit. With needling, when the calcium deposit is pierced with a needle, it may yield individual white crystals or a pasty white matter containing calcium.
The other method to remove calcium deposits is debridement; whichmeans surgical removal of lacerated, contaminated or devitalized tissue. In other words surgical removal of foreign material or dead tissue around wound. Arthroscopic debridement is a surgical intervention of removing damaged cartilage, bone, calcium deposits or other debris around the joint.

Pre-operative

Arthroscopicor keyhole surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure of (examination and sometimes treatment) damage joint performed using an endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision.
Recovery-
Arthroscopic debridement – Advantage is it is a daycare procedure and the patient may leave the hospital on the same day itself. Patient will require painkillers along with some regular physiotherapy sessions so that the joint remains flexible and normal mobility is restored.
Its minimally invasive procedure, even though the recovery is fast yet still it depends on how severe the damage has been in the affected area before the surgery.
