“…Secondly, four articles [22,[26][27][28] were associated with a low risk with regard to domain 2, index test. Sonographers already knows the diagnosis of patients in 4 studies [23][24][25]; therefore, these studies are associated with a high risk of bias.…”

“…Firstly, sixarticles [22][23][24][25]27,28] were associated with a high risk of bias with regard to patient selection, because they were all controlled trials and did not mention whether patients were consecutively enrolled or not. The other research [26] did not mention whether the included patients were consecutive too, but a case-control design was avoided, so it was associated with an unclear risk.…”

Aims: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we discuss the value of grey-scale ultrasonography (US) in diagnosing adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (ACS).Material and methods: We retrieved relevant studies from PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase before 8 April 2019. We selected 7 studies concerning 446 patients (490 shoulders) that used grey-scale US to diagnose ACS and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or arthroscopy as the reference standard. We assessed the diagnostic accuracy of US on the basis of combined sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio (LR), and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve (AUC).Results: The combined sensitivity, specificity, positive LR and negative LR were found to be 88% (95%CI: 74–95), 96% (95%CI: 88–99), 23.89 (95%CI: 6.31–90.51) and 0.12 (95%CI: 0.05–0.29), respectively. The AUC was 0.97 (95%CI: 0.96–0.98). ACS was diagnosed on the basis of four US features: coracohumeral ligament thickening, inferior capsule/axillary recess capsule thickening, rotator interval abnormality, and restriction of the range of motion. The corresponding sensitivities were 64.4 (95%CI: 48.8–78.1), 82.1 (95%CI: 73.8–88.7), 82.6 (95%CI: 74.1–89.2) and 94.3 (95%CI: 84.3–98.8), respectively, and specificities were 88.9 (95%CI: 76.0–96.3), 95.7 (95%CI: 90.3–98.6), 93.9 (95%CI: 89.8–96.7), and 90.9 (95%CI: 75.7–98.1), respectively.Conclusions: Our meta-analysis showed that grey-scale US plays a significant role in the diagnosis of ACS. Because of its high sensitivity and specificity, US can be added to the existing clinical diagnosis program.

Objectives The primary objective of this study is to evaluate, using ultrasound measurements, the correlation between coracohumeral ligament (CHL) thickness and restricted shoulder range of motion (ROM) in patients with adhesive capsulitis (AC). The secondary objective is to investigate the correlation between CHL thickness and disease duration. Design Prospective cross‐sectional survey. Setting Clinical research of a tertiary care hospital. Methods Overall, 65 patients with clinically diagnosed AC were enrolled. Ultrasound measurements of CHL thickness in the axial oblique plane were obtained under maximal external rotation of the glenohumeral joint. Both Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and shoulder ROM were prospectively evaluated by an experienced investigator. CHL thickness was compared with shoulder ROM and SPADI. The association between CHL thickness and disease duration was also investigated. Results Simple linear regression analysis showed significant inverse correlation between CHL thickness and shoulder ROM including external rotation (ER) (r = −0.335, P = .006) and internal rotation (IR) (r = −0.409, P = .001). CHL thickness also correlated with disease duration (r = −0.352, P = .004). Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that CHL thickness was significantly associated with restricted ER (r = −0.293, P = .02) and IR (r = −0.363, P = .003) after adjusting for age and disease duration. On the other hand, CHL thickness showed no significant correlation with abduction (r = −0.210, P = .09), flexion (r = −0.170, P = .176), or total SPADI score (r = 0.176, P = .16). Moreover, CHL was significantly thicker in patients with disease duration >6 months (P = .004, difference in means: 0.55 mm, 95% confidence interval: −0.922, −0.183). Conclusions CHL was significantly thicker in later‐stage AC. CHL thickness correlated negatively with ER and IR of the shoulder. Furthermore, CHL thickening could be observed in the early stage of the disease course. These imaging findings may assist in confirming the diagnosis of AC, leading to early intervention and treatment options.

Sonography in diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder: a case–control study

Abstract: Sonography revealed a high accuracy for diagnosing AC of the shoulder and in differentiating it from other causes of painful shoulder. It, thus, has the potential to be adopted as a preferred imaging modality.
