INTRODUCTION The aim of this prospective study was to assess the immediate and long-term effectiveness of arthroscopic capsular release in a large cohort of patients with a precise and isolated diagnosis of stage II idiopathic frozen shoulder. METHODS All patients underwent a preoperative evaluation. Patients with secondary frozen shoulder and those with concurrent pathology at arthroscopy were excluded. This left 136 patients with a stage II arthroscopically confirmed idiopathic frozen shoulder. At each postoperative attendance, a record was made of pain, function and range of motion. At 12 months, the Oxford shoulder score was calculated, and pain and range of motion were assessed. RESULTS Fifty per cent achieved good pain relief within a week and eighty per cent within six weeks of arthroscopic capsular release. The mean preoperative visual analogue scale pain score was 6.6 and the mean postoperative score was 1.0. The mean time to achieving good pain relief was 16 days following surgery. No patient could sleep through the night prior to surgery while 90% reported having a complete night’s sleep at a mean of 12 days after surgery. The mean postoperative Oxford shoulder score was 38/48 and the mean improvement was 19.2. CONCLUSIONS This large series demonstrates that arthroscopic capsular release is a safe procedure, with rapid improvement in pain and a marked improvement in range of motion.

Moderating Factors

Background: Frozen shoulder is a common shoulder disorder characterized by pain and restriction. Various nonsurgical treatments have been reported, but there is no consensus about their comparative efficacy and the effects of moderators. Purpose: To compare the efficacy of different nonsurgical interventions and identify potential patient-specific moderating factors for frozen shoulder. Study Design: Systematic review and network meta-analysis. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched from their inception to February 18, 2019. The search was supplemented by manual review of relevant reference lists. Randomized controlled trials of participants with frozen shoulder that compared nonsurgical interventions were selected. Measured outcomes included pain, shoulder function in daily activities, and range of motion. Results: Of 3136 records identified, 92 trials were eligible, evaluating 32 nonsurgical interventions in 5946 patients. Intra-articular injection improved pain (pooled standardized mean difference [95% CI]: steroid injection, 1.68 [1.03-2.34]; capsular distension, 2.68 [1.32-4.05]) and shoulder function (steroid injection, 2.16 [1.52-2.81]; distension, 2.89 [1.71-4.06]) to a greater extent than placebo. Capsular distension and extracorporeal shockwave therapy showed the highest ranking for pain relief and functional improvement, respectively. Laser therapy also showed benefits for pain relief (3.02 [1.84-4.20]) and functional improvement (3.66 [1.65-5.67]). Subgroup analyses by disease stages revealed that steroid injection combined with physical therapy provided more benefits during the freezing phase, whereas joint manipulation provided more benefits in the adhesive phase. Adjunctive therapies, female sex, and diabetes were also identified as moderators of effectiveness. Conclusion: Capsular distension is a highly recommended choice for treatment of frozen shoulder, contributing greatly to pain relief and functional improvement; steroid injection is also a prevailing effective intervention. Among new options, extracorporeal shockwave therapy and laser therapy show potential benefits for multiple outcomes. Individualized optimal intervention should be considered, given that treatment effect is moderated by factors including the disease stage, time of assessment, adjunctive therapies, female sex, and diabetes.

BACKGROUND: Treatment of Frozen shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) is mainly nonoperative. Intra-articular steroid injections and physiotherapy are one of the most effective and useful treatment. Even though intra-articular steroid injections are very effective in inflammatory phase of the disease; patients are reluctant to move their affected shoulder for fear of pain. Thus, they do not follow exercise program properly resulting in poor outcomes.OBJECTIVE: If pain could be reduced, outcome of treatment can improve. Lignocaine, when combined with steroid injection, plays an important role in immediate improvement of pain and active range of motion thereby increasing the overall result. MATERIALS & METHODS: 100 patients with frozen shoulder were selected according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. After randomization by sealed envelope technique, patients were divided into Group A and Group B. Group A patients were injected with 2 ml (80 mg) of methylprednisolone and 3 ml of 1% Lignocaine, and Group B patients were injected with 2 ml (80 mg) of methylprednisolone and 3 ml of Distilled water in the affected shoulder via standard posterior approach. Then half an hour of standard shoulder range of motion (ROM) exercise regimen was performed under supervision. Pre injection and post injection pain level was scored by Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and Subjective satisfaction score (SSS). Shoulder exercises were taught and home based physiotherapy was carried out by patients themselves. They were also prescribed oral analgesics for 5 days and were followed at 1, 3, and 6 weeks. At every follow up visit, they were assessed for improvement via Constant-Murley Score (CMS).RESULTS: The mean age of this study in group A and group B was 56.46 years (SD 10.05) and 57.18 years (SD 8.87) respectively (P0.70). There were 31 male and 19 female in group A as compared to group B where there was 26 males and 24 females (P0.41). In both the groups, maximum number of patients presented at around 10 weeks. In both the groups left side dominated right side with equal frequency (33 left sides and 17 right sides) (P 1.00) and non dominant side outnumbered dominant side with near equal frequency (P 1.00). After the intervention, excellent result in SSS was observed only in group A whereas maximum patients of Group B had only fair result (42 patients). There was statistically significant difference between two groups in terms of pain; Activity of daily living (ADL) and Range of motion (ROM). Patients in group A were able to carry more weight than group B.   In CMS 1 and 6 week total, there was statistically highly significant difference between two groups. CONCLUSION: Even though steroid and physical exercises play important role in managing frozen shoulder, addition of lignocaine to steroid injection seems to be helpful. It relieves immediate pain on movement and improves exercise compliance thereby improving early outcomes. Evaluation of long term benefits of lignocaine injection needs further studies. Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2017) Vol.05 No.01 Issue 15, Page: 22-28

Objective: To determine outcomes of intra-articular corticosteroids injection versus physiotherapy for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis using mean pain score on the visual analogue scale. Study Design: Comparative prospective study. Place and Duration of Study: Orthopedic outpatient department, Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur from Jan to Jun 2021. Methodology: A total of 120 cases having adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) were included in the study according to inclusion criteria. Non-probability consecutive sampling technique was used for the selection of cases. Patients were divided into two groups, group-A and group B, each containing 60 cases. Patients in group-A were given intra-articular steroid injection (2ml triamcinolone 40mg ± 2ml of bupivacaine). Patients in group B received ten sessions of physiotherapy by a welltrained physiotherapist under the supervision of an orthopaedic surgeon on alternate days. After six weeks, outcomes were measured in terms of pain score using a visual analogue pain scale. Results: Significant improvement was seen among patients in group-A with mean pain score from 7.32 ± 0.89 measured initially to 5.44 ± 1.37 measured after six weeks (p<0.001). No significant improvement was found among patients in group B with a mean pain score of 7.58 ± 0.94 measured initially to 7.12 ± 0.88 measured after six weeks (p>0.05). Conclusion: Significant improvement in pain relief can be achieved using intra-articular steroid injection administered in the shoulder as compared to supervised sessions of physiotherapy among patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Arthroscopic Capsular Release

Background: Arthroscopic capsular release has been shown to provide excellent short- and long-term outcomes in patients with idiopathic frozen shoulder. Some surgeons delay surgery in the belief that operating in the early stages of adhesive capsulitis results in a poorer prognosis. However, it is unclear which factors, particularly the stage of the disorder, affect the surgical outcome of this procedure. Hypothesis: Patients who undergo capsular release during the early symptomatic stage of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis would have less improvement in range of motion compared with those who undergo surgery at a later stage. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 189 shoulders with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis that underwent arthroscopic capsular release were evaluated. All patients completed a L’Insalata questionnaire and had their range of motion and strength tested prior to surgery and at 1, 6, and 12 weeks and 6 months post–capsular release. Post hoc, patients were grouped by whether they had symptoms lasting <10 months (shorter symptoms group; n = 131) or ≥10 months (longer symptoms group; n = 38). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine which preoperative factors were independently associated with a favorable outcome. Results: Patients in the shorter symptoms group were more restricted prior to surgery than were those in the longer symptoms group (mean ± SEM: external rotation, 17° ± 2° vs 27° ± 4° [ P = .04]; abduction, 78° ± 3° vs 92° ± 6° [ P = .04]; internal rotation, S3 ± 1 vs S1 ± 1 [ P = .03]). The shorter symptoms group had greater postoperative improvement in internal rotation (from S3 ± 1 preoperatively to T12 ± 1 vertebral levels) compared with the longer symptoms cohort (from S1 ± 1 to L2 ± 1) ( P = .02). Conclusion: Patients with a frozen shoulder and a duration of symptoms <10 months made greater improvements in internal rotation and had similar final results for flexion, abduction, and external rotation following arthroscopic capsular release when compared with patients who had a longer duration of symptoms, so there is no reason to delay surgery.

Introduction: Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is a condition affectingthe glenohumeral joint and leads to restricted painful shoulder. It is very debilitating. This notonly affects the activities of daily living of a person but job related chores too. The inflammationof the capsule of the glenohumeral joint causes pain and restriction of the motion. Adhesivecapsulitis can be characterized as primary or secondary. It can be secondary due to anyunderlying disease such as cervical spondylosis or diabetes mellitus. People affected seekdifferent treatment options for this debilitating condition such as taking non-steroidal antiinflammatorydrugs (NSAIDS), steroid injections, taking physical therapy and some even gofor surgical interventions. Objective: the objective of this research was to find out whetherKaltenborn mobilization technique alone improved the restricted shoulder abduction range ofmotion in better way or a combination of Kaltenborn mobilization and range of motion exerciseswas a better option. Study Design: randomized clinical trial (RCT). Setting: Fatima MemorialHospital (FMH) Shadman Lahore. Period: a period of 6 months. Material and Methods:Group I: Thirty patients participated in this group and were treated with Kaltenborn mobilizationtechnique along with range of motion exercises. Group II: The second group also consisted ofthirty patients and were treated with Kaltenborn mobilization technique without range of motionexercises. Sample Size: Sixty patients were included in the research by taking 30 patients ineach group. Systematic sampling was used in which all the odd ordered patients (1st, 3rd, 5th etc.)were included in group I while all the even ordered patients (2nd, 4th, 6th etc.) in group II. Results:For abduction the mean change was 29.33±10.65 in combination while for kaltenborn alone themean change was 12.30±4.06. The values obtained for shoulder abduction were significantlyhigher in Kaltenborn + ROM group, p-value < 0.05. Conclusion: A combination of Kaltenbornmobilization along with range of motion exercises showed better results in improving shoulderabduction range of motion.

Background Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) is characterised by pain and loss of range of motion of the glenohumeral joint. It can be present as primary (idiopathic) or secondary to surgery, trauma or other conditions that restrict the use of the shoulder joint. Various treatment options have been adopted including physiotherapy, manipulation under anaesthetic, hydrodilatation and arthroscopic or open capsular release but the optimal form of management remains uncertain. Objectives The purpose of the study was to assess the clinical outcome of glenohumeral hydrodilatation in three cohorts of patients with different aetiologies with adhesive capsulitis. Study design & methods We carried out a retrospective study of patient who underwent hydrodilatation for adhesive capsulitis between 2013 and 2015. The procedure was performed by a specialist musculoskeletal radiologist under radiological guidance. The injection consisted of steroids, local anaesthetics and NaCl solution with a target volume around 35 mL. Our outcome measures were range of motion, and pre- and post-operative pain. Patients were divided into three groups based on the presumed cause of their stiffness: idiopathic, post-traumatic and post-surgical. Results Two hundred fifty patients were included, with a mean age of 59 years (range: 20–79). Of these, 180 had idiopathic primary adhesive capsulitis (27 were diabetic), 23 were post-traumatic, and 20 following surgical procedures. Thirty-four required further intervention following initial hydrodilatation with 8 undergoing repeat hydrodilatation, and 26 requiring arthroscopic capsular release. The diabetic group accounted for 16 capsular releases and 4 repeat procedures, while the idiopathic group accounted for 9 and 4, respectively. One patient required capsular release in the surgical group. An improvement was recorded in ROM in all groups with mean abduction improving from 59° to 110°, flexion from 50° to 120° and external rotation from 20° to 50°. With regards to pain, the majority showed an improvement from severe or moderate pain to no or mild pain. Conclusions Results show that hydrodilatation resulted in an improvement in all outcome measures, with only a small number of patients, especially those with diabetes, needing further procedures or showing no improvement in range of motion and pain. There was no difference between the post-traumatic and post-surgical groups.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Adhesive capsulitis is a common, painful musculoskeletal condition of the shoulder associated with loss of range of motion in the glenohumeral joint resulting from contraction of the glenohumeral joint capsule and adherence to the humeral head. Earlier stages of adhesive capsulitis can be treated by intra-articular steroid injections into the glenohumeral joint. This study was designed to study the role of long acting intra-articular corticosteroid injections in combination with simple therapeutic exercises while comparing the outcome of blinded anterior and posterior injection approaches in the management of adhesive capsulitis.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The study comprised of 60 subjects aged 18 years and above who were diagnosed with primary adhesive capsulitis. They were randomly divided into 2 groups i.e., Group A who received blind intra-articular steroid injections via standard anterior approach and group B who received blind intra-articular steroid injection via standard posterior approach. Both groups followed up with a simple home based exercise program. Outcome measures assessed were visual analog scale (VAS) score, shoulder pain assessment disability index (SPADI) and passive shoulder range of motion (ROM).<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> At last follow up, both groups showed statistically significant improvements in all outcome measures i.e., VAS score, SPADI, shoulder ROM. However, comparison between groups did not reveal any statistically significant differences between the two groups.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Intra-articular steroid injections into the glenohumeral joint in conjunction with simple physiotherapy are effective in improving pain, function and shoulder ROM in adhesive capsulitis. Both the anterior and posterior injection approaches provide good results.</p>
