Acute calcific tendinitis (ACT) is a relatively uncommon disorder of the hand and wrist. ACT is a wellknown condition of the shoulder, but it often goes unrecognized when occurring in the hand or wrist. The overall lack of familiarity along with the non-specific symptoms associated with ACT frequently leads to misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis. We report a case of acute calcific tendinitis occurring in the carpal tunnel which is a rare presentation.

The deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals, usually medial to the insertion of the supraspinatus tendon, may be associated with acute, severe inflammation and shoulder pain.…”

Although, hydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD) may be asymptomatic, it usually causes bursitis, periarthritis, or frank arthritis and may even involve subcutaneous tissues [1,2,3].…”
