“…Ogilvie-Harris et al [10] compared the outcome between two different treatment techniques concluding that patients treated with arthroscopy and manipulation did as well as those treated with arthroscopic division. We agree with Neviaser and Neviaser [9] that arthroscopy is not necessary for diagnosis or treatment of frozen shoulder, and manipulation alone is sufficient for the majority of patients. We reserve arthroscopy for cases when the diagnosis is uncertain.…”

Following manipulation of frozen shoulders under general anaesthesia, we reviewed 74 shoulders at an average of 3 weeks and again at an average of 33 months following the manipulation. We used an adjusted Constant score by excluding the abduction strength measurement. The maximum score was therefore 75 points. The average pre-manipulation score was 24.7 points. At 3 weeks after manipulation this score improved to 54.9 points. At the last follow-up (average 33 months) the score was 72.4 points. We have shown that manipulation under general anaesthesia speeds up recovery of frozen shoulders, and the range of movement improves rapidly.Résumé Nous avons manipulé des épaules gelées sous anesthésie générale. Nous avons examiné 74 épaules à une moyenne de trois semaines et une moyenne de 33 mois qui suivent la manipulation. Nous avons utilisé le score de Constant ajusté en excluant la mesure de la force d'abduction avec, en conséquence, un score maximal de 75 points. Le score moyen avant manipulation était 24.7 points. Trois semaines après la manipulation il était amélioré à 54.9 points. Au dernier examen (moyenne 33 mois) il était de 72.4 points. Nous avons montré que la manipulation sous anesthésie générale accélère la récupération et l'amplitude des mouvements s'améliore rapidement.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Adhesive Capsulitis: Correlation with Clinical Staging

et al. 2008

The purpose of this study was to evaluate noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of adhesive capsulitis and correlate them with clinical stages of adhesive capsulitis. This will hopefully define a role for shoulder MR imaging in the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis as well as in potentially directing appropriate treatment. Forty-seven consecutive non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging examinations of 46 patients with a clinical diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis were retrospectively reviewed and correlated with clinical staging. Specific MRI criteria correlated with the clinical stage of adhesive capsulitis, including the thickness and signal intensity of the joint capsule and synovium as well as the presence and severity of scarring in the rotator interval. Routine MRI of the shoulder without intraarticular administration of gadolinium can be used to diagnose all stages of adhesive capsulitis, including stage 1, where findings may be subtle on clinical examination. We believe that future studies assessing the role of MRI in guiding the initiation of appropriate treatment should be undertaken.
