Overview
Calcium apatite deposition disease is a chronic condition usually characterized by deposition of calcium apatite crystals within and around connective tissues and tendons, most commonly around the periarticular location. The risk factors for calcium apatite deposition disease are the genetic predisposition to HLA-A1 gene, newly onset adult diabetes, estrogen, and thyroid disorders. The most common site of involvement is shoulder, mostly involving the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons. Next common location is hip, followed by the spine. It occurs between the ages of 30–60, most common in females and usually asymptomatic. The patient also present with acute episodes of pain, which is recurrent after one episode. Common symptoms are the pain and swelling of the involved joint. Physical examination shows restricted joint movements and swelling. Diagnosis is made by radiography. MRI is the gold standard for the diagnosis of calcification. Treatment is usually conservative such as NSAIDS, physiotherapy, and hot compresses. Those are refractory to conservative treatment are referred to surgical treatment like open resection, arthroscopic resection, ultrasound-guided needle lavage (barbotage), and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT).
Historical Perspective
- In 1966, McCarty and Gatten had found calcium hydroxyapatite as the crystal involved in idiopathic calcific periarthritis.
- In 2001 and 2006, Hamada had identified the calcium deposits of calcific tendinitis to be made up of carbonate apatite instead of hydroxyapatite.[1][2]
Classification
- Calcium apatite deposition disease may be classified into two phases based on symptoms:[3]
- Acutely symptomatic phase
- Chronic or asymptomatic phase
- Based on the duration of symptoms, calcium apatite deposition disease may be classified as either acute or chronic.
Pathophysiology
- The pathogenesis of calcium apatite deposition disease is not clear. Various authors have formulated the different hypothesis about the pathophysiology of calcium apatite deposition disease.
- Uhthoff and Loebr described the pathogenesis in four phases which include:[4]
- Precalcific phase: In this stage, collagen fibers of the tendon are undergoing metaplasia into fibrocartilage tissue.
- Formative phase: Chondrocytes start depositing within the areas of fibrocartilage formation, which further leads to the formation of calcified apatite crystals. Following the formative phase, sometimes patients with calcium apatite deposition disease will go into the resting phase for long period of time.
- Resorptive phase: Calcification will further undergo to an inflammatory resorptive phase, which is characterized by the appearance of leukocytes, lymphocytes, and giant cells leading to the formation of a calcium granuloma.
- Postcalcific phase: Reparative process allows new capillary and collagen fiber formation that is when calcification enters the postcalcific phase.
- The HLA-A1 gene has been associated with the development of calcium apatite deposition disease.[5]
Differentiating Calcium Apatite Deposition Disease from other Diseases
- Calcium apatite deposition disease must be differentiated from the following disease:
- Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease (CPPD)
- Dystrophic calcification
- Renal osteodystrophy
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Hypoparathyroidism
- Collagen vascular disease
- Milk-alkali syndrome
- Hypervitaminosis D
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of calcium apatite deposition disease is approximately 7.8% in asymptomatic patients and 42.5% in patients with subacromial pain syndrome.[3]
Age
- Calcium apatite deposition disease has a bimodal pattern which affects both children around 3 years of age and adult between 30–60 years old.[6][7]
Gender
- Women are more commonly affected with calcium apatite deposition disease than men.[6]
Race
- There is no racial predilection for calcium apatite deposition disease.
Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of calcium apatite deposition disease are:
- Genetic predisposition to the HLA-A1 gene and calcific tendinitis[5]
- Adult-onset diabetes mellitus[8]
- Thyroid disorders
- Estrogen hormone disorder[9]
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
- The majority of patients with calcium apatite deposition disease remain asymptomatic for an indefinite period of time.
- Early clinical features include acute pain or chronic mild pain.
- If left untreated, intraarticular calcification may progress to develop joint destruction.
- Common complications of calcium apatite deposition disease
- Intraarticular calcification leads to joint destruction.
- Milwaukee shoulder syndrome if the shoulder joint is involved.
Diagnosis
Diagnostic Criteria
According to the American association of rheumatology, there is no diagnostic criteria of calcium apatite deposition disease.
Symptoms
- Patients with calcium apatite deposition disease are usually asymptomatic.
- Patients usually experience acute episodes of pain to chronic mild pain.
- Acute episodes of pain usually resolve spontaneously but there are recurrent episodes after an initial episode.[10]
- Acute episodes are usually associated with swelling.
- Some patients also present with the symptoms of neuropathy.[11]
Physical Examination
- Patients with calcium apatite deposition disease usually appear fatigue and usually in pain.
- Physical examination of the involved joint is remarkable for:
Laboratory Findings
- There are no specific laboratory findings associated with calcium apatite deposition disease.
Imaging Findings
- MRI is the imaging modality of choice for calcium apatite deposition disease.
- On MRI, calcification is characterized by:[12]
- Homogeneous and discrete calcifications
- Ill-defined inhomogeneous calcifications
- Soft tissue edema
Treatment
Medical Therapy
- There is the conservative treatment for the pain. Most of the calcifications resolve in size with conservative therapy.[13]
- Conservative treatment options are NSAIDS, hot compresses, and physiotherapy.
- Patients refractory to conservative therapy, following options are used:
Surgery
- Surgery is the choice of therapy for refractory cases of calcium apatite deposition disease. Following options are used:[14][15]
- Open resection
- Arthroscopic resection
- Ultrasound-guided needle lavage (barbotage)
- Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)
Prevention
- There is no primary prevention for calcium apatite deposition disease.
