At baseline and after 1, 7, 15, 30, 45, and 180 days, patients underwent US and clinical examination, using Constant (CS) and VAS (VS) scores. Complications and analgesic use were also recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compared to baseline, at the 45-day follow-up, TA and MA group showed a similar improvement (\u0394) in CS (42\u2009\u00b1\u200910 versus 36\u2009\u00b1\u20099 points) and VS (\u22124.4\u2009\u00b1\u20091.3 versus \u22123.6\u2009\u00b1\u20091.3 points). At the 180-day follow-up, the improvement was higher in TA versus MA (\u0394CS: 53\u2009\u00b1\u20097 versus 44\u2009\u00b1\u20097 points; \u0394VS: \u22124.9\u2009\u00b1\u20091.1 versus \u22123.9\u2009\u00b1\u20091 points). Multivariate analysis showed a mean CS higher ( P\u2009=\u20090.02) in TA versus MA group, while VS was similar.

A progressive decrease in analgesic use, concomitant to a significant and similar reduction of bursitis and calcifications, was observed in both groups.
