Objective: To compare efficacy of intra-articular steroid (IAS) injection with manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) in idiopathic FS. Study Design: Randomized Control Trail. Setting: Department of Orthopedic, Independent University Hospital, (IMC) Faisalabad. Period: 1st January 2021 to 30th June 2021. Material & Methods: Diagnosis of FS was based upon detailed history and proper physical. Group A (n=50) included intra-articular injection patients and Group B (n=50) was patients receiving MUA. Pain was measured by VAS and disability was measured by Disability Index (SPADI) scale. Results: Mean age of sample was 37 ± 10.52 in group A and 39.14± 9.48 in group B. Age of patients ranges from 35 to 50 years. Female patients were greater in both the groups. Most of the patients have duration of disease for more than 1 month. The ratio of patients with right side disease was more than 50% in both the groups as compared to left side. In group A. there was a significant decrease in mean pain from 3.45 ± 1.12 to 2.16 ± 0.8 In group B, mean pain score decreased from 3.65 ± 0.88 to 2.35 ± 0.68 1. Overall group A was more effective as compared to group B but the results were not significant statistically. Conclusion: The intra-articular injection method was superior to MUA because it was easier, safer, and less expensive, and it produced early results.
