This most often occurs in the shoulder but may occur at other sites such as the gluteus medius or minimus tendons. While extracorporeal shockwave treatment has been used in the management of shoulder CT, limited data exist for CT of the hip. Here we describe a man who developed sudden onset of right gluteal\/posterior thigh pain. Imaging revealed prominent CT at the insertion of the gluteus maximus at the linea aspera. He was treated with focused shockwave; treatments were administered once per week for 5 weeks with significant improvement in symptoms of pain and function. Repeat imaging obtained 1\u2009month after completion of shockwave showed resolution of previously noted calcium hydroxyapatite.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2026-275276","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,5]],"date-time":"2026-09-05T07:35:17Z","timestamp":1788593717000},"page":"e275276","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Treatment of acute calcific tendinopathy of the hip using focused shockwave"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9691-4365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jennifer R","family":"Arthurs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Regenerative Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Hunt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pain Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shane A","family":"Shapiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026090500501303000_19.9.e275276.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780090608"},{"key":"2026090500501303000_19.9.e275276.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1053\/jars.2003.50021","article-title":"Endoscopic treatment of calcific tendinitis of gluteus medius and minimus","volume":"19","author":"Kandemir","year":"2003","journal-title":"Arthroscopy"},{"key":"2026090500501303000_19.9.e275276.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1197\/j.jht.2004.02.003"},{"key":"2026090500501303000_19.9.e275276.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1002\/pri.2042","article-title":"Effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave therapy in treatment of upper and lower limb tendinopathies: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"29","author":"Elgendy","year":"2024","journal-title":"Physiother Res Int"},{"key":"2026090500501303000_19.9.e275276.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"197","DOI":"10.1177\/15563316251332189","article-title":"Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Tendinopathies Around the Hip and Pelvis: A Systematic Review","volume":"22","author":"Rau","year":"2026","journal-title":"HSS J"},{"key":"2026090500501303000_19.9.e275276.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546514545857"},{"key":"2026090500501303000_19.9.e275276.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1099","DOI":"10.1093\/bjr\/tqae039","article-title":"Imaging of calcific tendinopathy: natural history, migration patterns, pitfalls, and management: a review","volume":"97","author":"Saran","year":"2024","journal-title":"Br J Radiol"},{"key":"2026090500501303000_19.9.e275276.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3048","DOI":"10.1111\/os.70175","article-title":"Efficacy of Conservative Approaches on Pain Relief and Function in Patients With Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendinopathy: Which Is the Best Option?
