Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of anterior capsular abnormality, thickening, and abnormal signal intensity on MRI for the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 29 patients with adhesive capsulitis and 20 controls. Clinical criteria with significant restricted passive motion was used for the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis. The anterior capsular thickness and signal intensity were evaluated on the thickest portion of anterior glenohumeral joint capsule, located deep to the subscapularis muscle. In addition, the previously known MR findings of adhesive capsulitis, such as humeral and glenoid capsular thickness in axillary recess, maximal axillary capsular thickness, and coracohumeral ligament thickness, were measured. The presence of humeral and glenoid capsular abnormal hyperintensity in axillary recess, abnormal hyperintensity, and obliteration of the subcoracoid fat triangle were also evaluated. RESULTS All MRI findings significantly differed between adhesive capsulitis and controls. Among MR findings, multivariable analysis showed that anterior capsular thickness, maximal axillary capsular thickness, and anterior capsular abnormal hyperintensity were variables that could differentiate adhesive capsulitis from the control group, with odds ratios of 7.97, 17.75, and 12.41, respectively (p < 0.05). In ROC analysis, the anterior capsular thickness showed high diagnostic performances with an AUC of 0.897. The cut-off value of anterior capsular thickness at 3.5 mm showed excellent diagnostic accuracy, with sensitivity of 68.97% and specificity of 100%. CONCLUSIONS Anterior capsular abnormality, thickening, and abnormal hyperintensity can be used for the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis of shoulder, in addition to previously known abnormal MRI findings.

Abstract
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a common presentation in the primary care setting and can be significantly painful and disabling. The condition progresses in three stages: freezing (painful), frozen (adhesive) and thawing, and is often self-limiting. Common conservative treatments include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oral glucocorticoids, intra-articular glucocorticoid injections and/or physical therapy. However, many physicians may find themselves limited to prescribing medications for treatment. This article elaborates on physical therapy exercises targeted at adhesive capsulitis, which can be used in combination with common analgesics.

Abstract
Background This study was undertaken to evaluate the outcome of the arthroscopic capsular release for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. Methods This study retrospectively investigated thirty shoulders in 29 patients who presented with recalcitrant adhesive capsulitis and underwent arthroscopic treatments. Other than typical findings of adhesive capsulitis, combined pathologies in the glenohumeral joint and subacromial space were evaluated by arthroscopy. Clinical evaluations were performed using the Constant’s score and ranges of motion (ROM) at preoperative, 6 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up. Results Our study included 17 women and 12 men with a mean age of 53.8 years (range, 34–74). Mean follow-up duration was 24 months (range, 12–40 months). Assessment of combined pathologies revealed that partial rotator cuff tear of less than 25% thickness, was most common (overall 83.3%; with bursal 57% and articular 23%). Subacromial synovitis and adhesion were also frequent (53.3%). The Constant score and ranges of motion significantly improved at the final follow-up, compared with preoperative levels. However, clinical results at 6 months postoperatively were found to be significantly inferior to those observed at the final follow-up (p≤0.001 for all factors). Functional impairment was the major complaint in 59.3% patients at the 6 months follow-up. Conclusions Although arthroscopic capsular release yielded favorable outcome at the mean 24 months follow-up, pain and motion limitations at 6-month postoperatively persisted in more than 50% of our patients. While combined pathologies were commonly encountered during arthroscopy, although their effects on surgical outcome in adhesive capsulitis remains unclear in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have reported on the radiological characteristics and repair integrity of coexistent rotator cuff tears (RCTs) and shoulder stiffness after simultaneous arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and capsular release. PURPOSE To evaluate the radiological characteristics and repair integrity of 1-stage arthroscopic surgery of RCTs concomitant with shoulder stiffness. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Among patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of full-thickness RCTs, the stiff group underwent simultaneous capsular release for shoulder stiffness, and the nonstiff group had no stiffness. Symptom duration, prevalence of diabetes, tear size, tendon involvement (type 1, supraspinatus; type 2, supraspinatus and subscapularis; and type 3, supraspinatus and infraspinatus; type 4, supraspinatus, subscapularis, and infraspinatus), and fatty infiltration (Goutallier stages 0-4) were evaluated. A retear was appraised using magnetic resonance imaging, and clinical outcomes were assessed using range of motion, the Korean Shoulder Scoring System (KSS), and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score. RESULTS The stiff group showed a significantly lower retear rate (1/39, 2.6%) than the nonstiff group (47/320, 14.7%) ( P = .043). There were significant differences in symptom duration (7.4 ± 6.6 vs 15.0 ± 23.7 months, respectively; P < .001), mediolateral tear size (18.9 ± 8.9 vs 24.1 ± 12.0 mm, respectively; P = .002), tendon involvement (94.9%, 5.1%, 0.0%, and 0.0% vs 85.3%, 6.9%, 7.8%, and 0.0%, respectively; P = .048), and fatty infiltration of the subscapularis (66.7%, 33.3%, 0.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0% vs 31.9%, 61.3%, 5.6%, 1.3%, and 0.0%, respectively; P < .001) and teres minor (74.4%, 20.5%, 5.1%, 0.0%, and 0.0% vs 47.2%, 48.8%, 3.8%, 0.0%, and 0.3%, respectively; P = .007) between the stiff and nonstiff groups. Preoperatively, the stiff group showed significantly worse forward flexion (95.9° ± 23.6° vs 147.7° ± 4.2°, respectively; P < .001), external rotation (17.4° ± 10.1° vs 51.6° ± 12.1°, respectively; P < .001), and internal rotation (L5 vs L2, respectively; P < .001) and lower KSS (52.1 ± 13.8 vs 66.3 ± 13.5, respectively; P < .001) and UCLA scores (18.7 ± 4.8 vs 22.5 ± 4.5, respectively; P < .001) than the nonstiff group. However, these differences became insignificant from 3 months postoperatively for forward flexion ( P > .05) and KSS ( P > .05) and UCLA scores ( P > .05), from 1 year postoperatively for external rotation ( P > .05), and at the last follow-up for internal rotation ( P > .05). A multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that only mediolateral tear size (odds ratio, 1.043; P = .014) and type 2 tendon involvement (odds ratio, 4.493; P = .003) were independent predictors of a retear. CONCLUSION RCTs concomitant with shoulder stiffness showed a smaller mediolateral tear size, anterosuperior tendon involvement, and less severe fatty infiltration preoperatively and better repair integrity postoperatively than RCTs without stiffness. Furthermore, the clinical outcomes and range of motion at final follow-up were similar between the 2 groups.

Abstract
Objectives Although the shoulder is known to move together with the scapula and other upper quarter joints, the current frozen shoulder clinical practice guidelines describe only physical therapy study treatments directed to the shoulder. None received a strong recommendation, highlighting the need for alternate interventions. This retrospective case series describes a pragmatic regional interdependence approach to frozen shoulder with impairment and functional outcomes, noting whether final ROM approached normal. Methods Five consecutive patients referred with frozen shoulder diagnoses attended 11-21 sessions over 5-10 weeks with one physical therapist. Treatment addressed inter-related regions (shoulder, shoulder girdle, scapulothoracic/humerothoracic, and spine) following a pragmatic approach using impairment-based interventions (joint/soft tissue mobilization, muscle stretching/strengthening) as well as patient education, modalities and warm up that addressed individual presentations. Results All patients improved on all outcomes. Mean shoulder ROM at discharge, the impairment outcome, demonstrated large effect size increases: flexion (117 ± 10-179 ± 12, d = 5.9), abduction (74 ± 8-175 ± 9, d = 9.3), external rotation (23 ± 7-89 ± 2, d = 12.0). The Disability of Arm Shoulder Hand functional outcome score upon follow up demonstrated a large effect size improvement (d = 1.5) from 40.0 ± 19.4-6.2 ± 3.7. Final ROM approached normal. Discussion This case series utilized a regional interdependence approach to frozen shoulder that included manual therapy interventions directed to consistent upper quarter body segments. Shoulder ROM was returned to near normal with functional improvements evident months after discharge. A pragmatic regional interdependence approach addressing multiple joints related to shoulder function may benefit other people with frozen shoulder. Level of Evidence 4.

Abstract
Shoulder stiffness is a condition of painful restriction of the glenohumeral range of motion. Numerous risk factors for primary and postoperative shoulder stiffness have been described. This article summarizes the known aspects of the pathophysiology of shoulder stiffness, with special attention to elements of molecular biology and genetics, which could influence the risk of developing shoulder stiffness. Furthermore, the role of hormonal and metabolic factors, medical disorders, drugs, and of other published risk factors for primary and postoperative shoulder stiffness is reviewed and discussed. Finally, aspects related to shoulder surgery and postoperative rehabilitation protocols, which could influence the development of postoperative stiffness are presented.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adhesive capsulitis (AC) of the shoulder has been a diagnosis of exclusion on sonography due to lack of specific diagnostic criteria. This study prospectively assesses the efficacy of sonography using multiple static and dynamic parameters for diagnosis of AC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Shoulder sonography was performed independently by two musculoskeletal radiologists on 90 subjects (60 symptomatic and 30 controls). All symptomatic subjects were subjected to an MRI. Based on clinical and MRI diagnosis, three groups were made: AC (n = 30), painful shoulders (PS) (n = 30), and control group (CL) (n = 30). The sonographic parameters studied were: coracohumeral ligament (CHL) thickness, increased soft tissue in rotator interval (static parameters) and restriction of abduction and external rotation on dynamic scanning. These were compared within the three groups and the accuracy of each parameter in isolation and in combination for diagnosis of AC was calculated. RESULTS Sonographic visualisation of CHL (96.7%) and its mean thickness (1.2 mm) were highest in the AC group (p < 0.01). A cut-off value of 0.7 mm was found to be accurate (sensitivity 93.1%, specificity 94.4%) for diagnosing AC. Increased soft tissue in the rotator interval was seen in the AC group and had a high sensitivity of 86.2% and specificity of 92.8%. On dynamic scanning, restriction of external rotation was specific (sensitivity 86.2%, specificity 92.8%), whereas restriction in abduction was non-specific (specificity 6.7%). Inter-observer agreement was substantial for CHL visualisation (kappa 0.66). Overall, sonography, using multiple parameters, revealed a high sensitivity and specificity (100 and 87%, respectively) for diagnosis of AC of the shoulder. CONCLUSION 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.

Abstract
Background: Idiopathic frozen shoulder (nontraumatic) is commonly encountered in patients between the ages of 35 and 60 years in general orthopaedic practice. While the prevalence of frozen shoulder among the general population is estimated to be between 2% and 4%, a significantly higher prevalence of 10% to 22% has been reported in patients with diabetes mellitus. Since diabetic patients are more prone to develop frozen shoulder than nondiabetics, the question arises as to whether patients diagnosed as having idiopathic frozen shoulder are at greater risk to develop diabetes mellitus and should be routinely screened for this condition. Purpose: To compare the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and prediabetes among patients diagnosed with idiopathic frozen shoulder who are not known to have either diabetes mellitus or prediabetic conditions with that of an age-matched group from the general population. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Patients at a shoulder clinic with a diagnosis of idiopathic frozen shoulder were asked to participate in the study if they were aged between 35 to 60 years and had no known previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus or prediabetic conditions. These patients underwent a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test. According to their fasting and 2-hour plasma glucose levels, patients were diagnosed as normal glucose tolerance, prediabetic, or diabetic. Findings were matched with the prevalence in an age-matched general population. Results: Fifty patients completed the test. Four patients with idiopathic frozen shoulder (8%) were found to be prediabetic. No patient was found to be diabetic. All 4 patients reported a history of diabetes in their parents or siblings. Conclusion: Patients diagnosed with idiopathic frozen shoulder who are 60 years or younger and are not known diabetics have a similar probability of having diabetes or prediabetes to an age-matched population. No routine diabetic workup is warranted specifically for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Local administration of opioids causes effective analgesia without adverse effects related to the central nervous system. After the beneficial demonstration of peripheral opioid receptors in joint synovia, intra-articular opioid injections were used for pain treatment. Clinical studies have reported the safety and efficacy of hyaluronate injection in the shoulder joint of patients with osteoarthritis, periarthritis, rotator cuff tears, and adhesive capsulitis. OBJECTIVES To estimate the efficacy of intra-articular hyaluronate and tramadol injection for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder compared with that of intra-articular hyaluronate injection alone. METHODS Thirty patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder were randomized to the hyaluronate group (n= 16) or the tramadol group (n= 14). Hyaluronate group members were administered five weekly intra-articular hyaluronate injections; tramadol group members were administered three weekly intra-articular hyaluronate and tramadol injections and then two weekly intra-articular injections of hyaluronate. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), passive range of motion (PROM) of the shoulder joint, and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) scores were assessed at baseline and weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 after the initial injection. RESULTS A significant improvement was observed in VAS, PROM, and SPADI scores between time points in both groups. In comparison in both groups at weeks 1 and 2 after the initial injection the VAS scores of the tramadol group were significantly lower than those of the hyaluronate group. CONCLUSIONS Intra-articular hyaluronate with tramadol showed more rapid and strong analgesic effects than intra-articular hyaluronate alone and did not induce any adverse effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if diagnostic signs of adhesive capsulitis (AC) of the shoulder at Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and arthrography (MRA) are applicable to CT arthrography (CTA). METHODS 22 shoulder CTAs with AC were retrospectively reviewed for features described in MR literature. The control group was composed of 83 shoulder CTA divided into four subgroups 1) normal (N = 20), 2) omarthrosis (N = 19), 3) labral injury (N = 23), and 4) rotator cuff tear (N = 21). Two musculoskeletal radiologists assessed the rotator interval (RI) for obliteration, increased width and thickening of coracohumeral ligament (CHL). The width and capsule thickness of the axillary recess were measured. RESULTS The width of the axillary recess was significantly decreased in the AC group (4.6 ± 2.6 mm versus 9.9 ± 4.6 mm, p ≤ 0.0001; sensitivity and specificity of 84% and 80%). Thickness of the medial and lateral walls of the axillary capsule was significantly increased in the AC group (5.9 ± 1.3 mm versus 3.7 ± 1.1 mm, p ≤ 0.0001 and 5.7 ± 1 mm versus 3.5 ± 1.3 mm, p ≤ 0.0001, respectively). CHL thickness was significantly increased in the AC group (4.1 ± 1 mm (p ≤ 0.001)) in comparison to others groups. Obliteration of the RI was statistically significantly more frequent in patients with AC (72.7% (16/22) vs. 12% (10/83), p < 0.0001). Width of the RI did not differ significantly between patients and controls (p ≥ 0.428). CONCLUSION Decreased axillary width, and thickened axillary capsule are MR signs of AC applicable to CTA. Evaluation of rotator interval seems useful and reproducible only for obliteration.

Abstract
Whole-body fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is performed primarily for oncologic indications; however, FDG uptake is not specific for malignancy. Herein we focus on causes of increased FDG uptake in and around joints, as lesions in these locations are commonly benign. A combination of primary intra-articular processes and osseous processes that may occur near the joint space will be discussed. Causes of intra-articular and periarticular increased FDG activity can be broadly divided into infectious, inflammatory, degenerative, and benign neoplastic categories. A familiarity with the full range of these processes is important to avoid misinterpretation, in turn decreasing unnecessary follow-up studies, procedures, and treatments. Differentiation from malignancy is often possible on the basis of a different level of FDG activity, divergent response to therapy, or differing changes over time, in comparison with a patient's known primary cancer. Recognizing an intra-articular lesion location can also be critical, as intra-articular metastases are rare. In some cases, benign FDG-avid articular and periarticular entities have a specific appearance at FDG PET/CT and a correct diagnosis may be made without any additional workup. In most other cases, comparison with prior studies and/or additional imaging can afford an accurate diagnosis. This review is meant to introduce the reader to a spectrum of benign FDG-avid articular and periarticular processes that may be encountered at oncologic FDG PET/CT to increase confidence and diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract
Background: Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (ACS) is a common self-limiting condition characterized by disabling pain and restricted movements. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood, clinically it is characterized by stages of pain and stiffness, and finally often patients never recover fully. However, there is no consensus about available methods of treatment for ACS. The aims of this paper are to discuss and develop issues regarding approaches to management in ACS in the stages of it. Methods: A review of the literature was performed and guidelines for the treatment of that clinical entity for doctors and health care professionals are provided. Results: Anti-inflammatory medications, steroid and/or hyaluronate injections and physiotherapy is the mainstay of conservative management either alone in the first stages or in combination with other treatment modalities in the later stages. Next line of treatment, involving minor to moderate intervention, includes suprascapular nerve block, distension arthrography and manipulation under anaesthesia. In order to avoid complications of “blind intervention”, arthroscopic capsular release is gradually more commonly applied, and in recalcitrant severe cases open release is a useful option. Conclusion: Various modalities of conservative management and gradually more surgical release are applied. However, often clinicians choose on personal experience and training rather than on published evidence.

Abstract
Objective Because positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) can be used to visualize inflammation of the musculoskeletal system, it may help elucidate the pathophysiology of frozen shoulder (FS). The purpose of this study was to characterize the uptake pattern on 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with idiopathic FS and to determine if there is a correlation between its metabolic parameters and clinical findings. Methods 18F-FDG PET/CT was conducted to 35 patients with unilateral idiopathic FS. Clinical data including pain, functional scores, and passive range of motion (ROM) were collected. Maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) were measured at the four regions of interest (ROIs): rotator interval (RI), anterior joint capsule (AJC), axillary recess (AR), and posterior joint capsule (PJC) from the attenuation-corrected axial images. Results Mean SUVmax values for four ROIs of the affected shoulder were significantly higher than those of the unaffected shoulder. Mean SUVmax values of RI and AR were significantly higher than those of AJC and PJC and mean SUVmax of AJC was significantly higher than that of PJC in the affected side. Three recognizable patterns of increased uptake were noted: (1) AR dominant type (15 patients); (2) RI dominant type (9 patients); (3) both RI and AR dominant type (11 patients). The SUVmax of AR showed negative correlation with abduction and forward flexion. The SUVmax of RI showed negative correlation with external rotation and internal rotation. The SUVmax of AJC showed negative correlation with all ROMs. However, there was no significant correlation between the SUVmax of PJC and any ROM. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that the anterior–inferior capsular portion, including RI and AR, is the main pathologic site of idiopathic FS and reveals significant correlations between ROM and metabolic parameters on 18F-FDG PET/CT. These results imply that AR and RI lesions are related to elevational limitations and rotational limitations, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of current techniques for dynamic 3-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of idiopathic severe frozen shoulder (FS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects consisted of 5 healthy volunteers and 16 patients with idiopathic severe FS. We defined severe idiopathic FS as follows: range of motion ≤100° in forward flexion, ≤10° in external rotation, and ≤L5 in internal rotation. All patients suffered from continued global range of motion loss for at least 6 months. We evaluated the diagnostic characteristics of 3-dimensional dynamic MRI in FS patients compared with those in healthy volunteers. RESULTS MRI of all FS patients displayed an abnormal intake of blood flow from the acromial arterial network and the branches of circumflex humeral arteries into the axillary pouch and the rotator interval. We named this finding "burning sign." The burning sign was present at all phases of the condition. In the FS group, the patients with enhanced deposition of contrast medium in the axillary pouch in the delayed phase (n = 11) had a statistically significant score for pain during exercise, higher than that of patients with reduced deposition of contrast medium at the same site (n = 5; P = .027). CONCLUSION Burning sign is an abnormal finding that appears in dynamic MRI of severe FS. Hence, the burning sign may be associated with pain and inflammation in idiopathic FS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of glenohumeral distance (GHD) on axial images of magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography for diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis and to compare this finding with previously reported classic MR arthrographic findings of adhesive capsulitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study was approved by the institutional ethical review board of our institute. We evaluated 41 patients (M-F, 35:6; mean age, 46 years; adhesive capsulitis, 21; no adhesive capsulitis, 20) who underwent MR arthrography. Two radiologists measured GHD, width of the axillary recess, and capsular thickness in consensus. The GHD was measured from the subchondral bone of the glenoid fossa to the subchondral bone of the humeral head at the level of the midline of the humeral head. Glenohumeral distance (anterior, middle, posterior, and mean), width of the axillary recess, and capsular thickness (anterior, posterior, and mean) were compared in the adhesive capsulitis and no adhesive capsulitis groups using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS The mean GHD of the no adhesive capsulitis group was longer than that of the adhesive capsulitis group. The length differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The mean width of the axillary recess of the no adhesive capsulitis group was significantly wider than that of the adhesive capsulitis group (P < 0.001). The mean capsular thickness of the no adhesive capsulitis group was significantly thinner than that in the adhesive capsulitis group (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A decreased GHD on MR arthrography can be another useful feature to diagnose adhesive capsulitis in addition to previously presented radiologic features such as capsular thickening and reduced axillary recess capacity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare serial clinical outcomes after arthroscopic treatment of refractory frozen shoulder with and without diabetes. METHODS Seventeen patients with diabetic frozen shoulder (diabetes group) and 20 patients with idiopathic frozen shoulder (idiopathic group) were included. The mean follow-up period was 48.4 ± 15.8 months. Visual analog scale pain score; University of California, Los Angeles score; American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score; and range of motion were evaluated preoperatively; at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery; and at the final follow-up examination. RESULTS Both groups showed significant improvement in all clinical scores and range of motion during the serial follow-up periods (P < .001). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in any of the assessed clinical scores, except the mean American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score in the diabetes group was significantly lower than that in the idiopathic group at 12 months after surgery (77.7 v 88.8, P = .025). In the diabetes group, mean forward flexion was significantly lower than that in the idiopathic group at 3 months (140.0° v 151.5°, P = .011) and 6 months (152.2° v 161.8°, P = .045) after surgery. Mean external rotation was significantly lower than that in the idiopathic group at 6 months after surgery (43.3° v 55.0°, P = .021). Mean internal rotation was significantly lower than that in the idiopathic group at 6 months (13.7 v 11.7, P = .006) and 12 months (12.2 v 9.9, P = .041) after surgery. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in any assessed outcomes at the final follow-up examination. CONCLUSIONS These results provide supportive evidence suggesting that the diabetes group had slower postoperative functional recovery until 12 months postoperatively, although arthroscopic capsular release for refractory frozen shoulder with and without diabetes yielded satisfactory clinical outcomes at the final follow-up examination. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Shoulder stiffness can be caused by various etiologies such as immobilization, trauma, or surgical interventions. The Upper Extremity Committee of ISAKOS defined the term "frozen shoulder" as idiopathic stiff shoulder, that is, without a known cause. Secondary stiff shoulder is a term that should be used to describe shoulder stiffness with a known cause. The pathophysiology of frozen shoulder is capsular fibrosis and inflammation with chondrogenesis, but the cause is still unknown. Conservative treatment is the primary choice. Pain control by oral medication, intra-articular injections with or without joint distension, and physical therapy are commonly used. In cases with refractory stiffness, manipulation under anesthesia or arthroscopic capsular release may be indicated. Because of various potential risks of complications with manipulations, arthroscopic capsular release is preferred. After the capsular release, stepwise rehabilitation is mandatory to achieve satisfactory outcome. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level V, evidence-based review.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare axillary ultrasound, laser, and postisometric facilitation technique with standard care in the management of shoulder adhesive capsulitis. METHODS This is a randomized clinical trial study. Fifty-nine participants with shoulder adhesive capsulitis were selected and randomly assigned for eligibility. Forty-five participants were assigned into 3 equal groups of 15, and 14 participants were excluded from the study. The participants were blinded to their group allocation. Standard care group (A) received traditional physical therapy treatment in the form of pulsed ultrasound, scanning laser, supervised exercise program, and home exercise program; group B received the same physical therapy program as group A, except that the ultrasound and scanning laser were applied to the axillary region of the painful shoulder; and group C received the same modified physical therapy program as group B plus postisometric facilitation technique to the painful shoulder. All dependent variables were measured by the second author, who was blinded to the participant's intervention group. The first author administered treatment to all 3 groups. All participants received 12 sessions (3 times/wk for 4 weeks). Pain level and shoulder range of motion (ROM; flexion, abduction, and external rotation) were recorded 3 times (pretreatment, immediately posttreatment, and 4 weeks of treatment). RESULTS Mixed-design multivariate analysis of variance indicated significant pain reduction with significant ROM increase in all groups posttreatment and after 4 weeks. Post hoc analysis for within groups revealed that shoulder ROM and pain levels improved significantly posttreatment compared with pretreatment ROM in all groups, with the greatest improvement in group C. Between-group analysis revealed that pain-free shoulder flexion, abduction, external rotation, and pain level improved significantly in group C compared with groups A and B immediately after treatment and after 4 weeks of follow-up (P < .05). Improvements reported in group B is more than in group A, and C is more than in groups A and B. CONCLUSIONS Combining axillary ultrasound and laser with postisometric facilitation had a greater effect in reducing pain and improving shoulder ROM in patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis compared with axillary ultrasound and laser with traditional exercise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective is to determine whether corticosteroid injection into the subacromial space was not inferior to intra-articular injection in patients with idiopathic frozen shoulder (FS), and whether combined injections had an additive effect. METHODS Patients with idiopathic FS (n=126) were randomly assigned to receive ultrasound-guided intra-articular (IA group), subacromial (SA group), or combined IA and subacromial injections (IA+SA group). All groups received a total dose of 40mg triamcinolone acetonide. The outcome measures included the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES) shoulder score, subjective shoulder value (SSV), and passive range of motion before and at 3, 6, and 12 weeks after treatment. RESULTS There was significant effect of time on all measurements such that all measures improved in all groups (P<0.001) during the 12 weeks after treatment. Group-by-time interactions were significant for ASES (P=0.006), VAS (P<0.001), SSV (P=0.03), and internal rotation (P=0.014). Between-group comparisons revealed a significant improvement in the IA (P<0.001) and IA+SA (P<0.001) groups as compared to the SA group. The IA+SA group demonstrated significant improvement in internal rotation as compared to the IA group (P=0.046). CONCLUSION The efficacy of corticosteroid injection into the SA space in idiopathic FS was inferior to IA injection up to 12 weeks; however, combination injections had an additive effect on increasing the internal rotation angle. These results indicate that although the glenohumeral joint is a major site in the pathogenesis of idiopathic FS, the SA space may be a contributing site.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the elasticity of the coracohumeral ligament (CHL) in healthy individuals and patients with clinical findings suggestive of unilaterally involved adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (ACS). MATERIALS AND METHODS The institutional review board approved this single-institution prospective study, which was performed between November 15, 2012, and July 8, 2014. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects. Measurement of CHL thickness was performed in the axial oblique plane under shoulder maximal external rotation. Shear-wave elastography (SWE) was used to evaluate elasticity of the CHL in healthy individuals (11 men, 19 women aged 22-62 years) and those with clinical findings suggestive of ACS (nine men, 11 women aged 41-70 years). SWE was performed in the shoulder-neutral position and under maximal external rotation. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to compare the thickness and elastic modulus of the CHL between bilateral shoulders. RESULTS In all subjects, the CHL elastic modulus was larger under maximal external rotation than in the neutral position (P < .001 for all). For healthy subjects, there was no significant difference in the CHL elastic modulus between the dominant and nondominant shoulders. For patients presumed to have ACS, the CHL thickness was significantly greater in the symptomatic shoulder than in the unaffected shoulder (P < .001). The CHL elastic modulus of the symptomatic shoulder (median, 234.8 kPa; interquartile range [IQR], 174.4-256.7 kPa) was significantly greater than that of the unaffected shoulder (median, 203.3 kPa; IQR, 144.1-242.7 kPa) in the shoulder-neutral position (P = .004) but not under maximal external rotation (P = .123). When bilateral shoulders were maintained at the same angle of external rotation, the CHL elastic modulus was greater in the symptomatic shoulder than in the unaffected shoulder (P = .005). CONCLUSION In patients with clinical findings suggestive of ACS, SWE showed that the CHL is stiffer in the symptomatic shoulder than in the unaffected shoulder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess the usefulness of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) in the monitoring of adhesive capsulitis (AC), a joint problem commonly observed in the upper arm after breast cancer treatment. METHODS This retrospective study included 230 patients who underwent F-FDG PET/CT before and after modified radical mastectomy of whom 22 patients were identified as having AC and categorized into 2 groups: with severely and mildly limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. The F-FDG uptake patterns and mean and maximum standardized uptake values (SUVs) were analyzed. RESULTS The overall incidence of AC after MRM was 9.57%. The SUVs were significantly higher in patients with severely limited range of motion compared with the other group. There was no association between the SUV and radiotherapy. The F-FDG uptake pattern differed between the groups. CONCLUSIONS F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT is useful in evaluating AC after breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
A frozen shoulder is a common cause of shoulder pain and stiffness. The etiology and pathology of frozen shoulders is not fully understood yet. Frozen shoulder is characterized by a decrease in intra-articular volume and capsular compliance. This can lead to significant limitations in daily life. The majority of the patients can be treated conservatively, with functional recovery to be expected in two to three years. However, if conservative treatment fails, manipulation under anaesthesia and arthroscopic capsular release can both be considered as appropriate treatments. Manipulation is a traditionally well-established technique but in recent years it seems that arthroscopic capsular release has gained popularity. Manipulation is a relative time efficient and technically low-demanding procedure in which the glenohumeral joint is forced into different directions under general anaesthesia to release the capsular contracture, thereby increasing the range of motion of the joint. In arthroscopic capsular release the glenohumeral capsule can be released in a more controlled manner under direct vision. There are no prospective comparative trials available to display superiority of one procedure over the other. In addition, the optimal timing of both these interventions still has to be determined. An overview of the literature concerning this topic and a description of both procedures with its own advantages and disadvantages is provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physiotherapy treatment of frozen shoulder is varied, but most lack specific focus on the underlying disorder, which is the adhered shoulder capsule. Although positive effects were found after physiotherapy, the recurrence and prolonged disability of a frozen shoulder are major factors to focus on to provide the appropriate treatment. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We wished to study the effectiveness of a shoulder countertraction apparatus on ROM, pain, and function in patients with a frozen shoulder and compare their results with those of control subjects who received conventional physiotherapy. METHODS A total of 100 participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group, with each group having 50 participants. The control group received physiotherapy and the experimental group received countertraction and physiotherapy. The total treatment time was 20 minutes a day for 5 days per week for 2 weeks. The outcome measures used were goniometer measurements, VAS, and the Oxford Shoulder Score. RESULTS Improvements were seen in the scores for shoulder flexion (94.1° ± 19.79° at baseline increased to 161.9° ± 13.05° after intervention), abduction ROM (90.4° ± 21.18° at baseline increased to 154.8° ± 13.21° after intervention), and pain (8.00 ± 0.78 at baseline decreased to 3.48 ± 0.71 after intervention) in the experimental group. Sixty percent of the participants (n = 30) were improved to the fourth stage of satisfactory joint function according to the Oxford Shoulder Score in the experimental group compared with 18% (n = 9) in the control group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Incorporating shoulder countertraction along with physiotherapy improves shoulder function compared with physiotherapy alone for the treatment of a frozen shoulder. Additional studies are needed focusing on this concept to increase the generalizability of the counter-traction apparatus in various groups. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, prospective comparative study. See the Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adhesive capsulitis is often difficult to diagnose in its early stage and to differentiate from other common shoulder disorders. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to validate any or all of the 8 clinical identifiers of early-stage primary/idiopathic adhesive capsulitis established in an earlier Delphi study. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. METHODS Sixty-four patients diagnosed with early-stage adhesive capsulitis by a physical therapist or medical practitioner were included in the study. Eight active and 8 passive shoulder movements and visual analog scale pain scores for each movement were recorded prior to and immediately following an intra-articular injection of corticosteroid and local anesthetic. Using the local anesthetic as the reference standard, pain relief of ≥70% for passive external rotation was deemed a positive anesthetic response (PAR). RESULTS Sixteen participants (25%) demonstrated a PAR. Univariate logistic regression identified that of the proposed identifiers, global loss of passive range of movement (odds ratio [OR]=0.26, P=.03), pain at the end of range of all measured active movements (OR=0.06, P=.02), and global loss of passive glenohumeral movements (OR=0.23, P=.02) were associated with a PAR. Following stepwise removal of the variables, pain at the end of range of all measured active movements remained the only identifier but was associated with reduced odds of a PAR. LIMITATIONS The lack of a recognized reference standard for diagnosing early-stage adhesive capsulitis remains problematic in all related research. CONCLUSIONS None of the clinical identifiers for early-stage adhesive capsulitis previously proposed by expert consensus have been validated in this study. Clinicians should be aware that commonly used clinical identifiers may not be applicable to this stage.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Case report. BACKGROUND Prognosis for adhesive capsulitis has been described as self-limiting and can persist for 1 to 3 years. Conservative treatment that includes physical therapy is commonly advised. CASE DESCRIPTION The patient was a 54-year-old woman with primary symptoms of shoulder pain and loss of motion consistent with adhesive capsulitis. Manual physical therapy intervention initially consisted of joint mobilizations of the shoulder region and thrust manipulation of the cervicothoracic region. Although manual techniques seemed to result in some early functional improvement, continued progression was limited by pain. Subsequent examination identified trigger points in the upper trapezius, levator scapula, deltoid, and infraspinatus muscles, which were treated with dry needling to decrease pain and allow for higher grades of manual intervention. OUTCOMES The patient was treated for a total of 13 visits over a 6-week period. After trigger point dry needling was introduced on the third visit, improvements in pain-free shoulder range of motion and functional outcome measures, assessed with the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index and the shortened form of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire, exceeded the minimal clinically important difference after 2 treatment sessions. At discharge, the patient had achieved significant improvements in shoulder range of motion in all planes, and outcome measures were significantly improved. DISCUSSION This case report describes the clinical reasoning behind the use of trigger point dry needling in the treatment of a patient with adhesive capsulitis. The rapid improvement seen in this patient following the initiation of dry needling to the upper trapezius, levator scapula, deltoid, and infraspinatus muscles suggests that surrounding muscles may be a significant source of pain in this condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to demonstrate metabolic patterns on (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) in patients with adhesive capsulitis (AC). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed (18)F-FDG PET/CT performed on 22 shoulders of 21 patients diagnosed with AC: 2 shoulders with stage I, 14 with stage II, and 6 with stage III. A clinical diagnosis of AC was retrospectively made based on clinical examination, clinical course, and imaging. The pattern of radiotracer uptake was analyzed. Standardized uptake values in rotator interval (RI), anterior joint capsule (AJC), axillary recess (AR), and greater tuberosity were measured and compared to those of the contralateral side and the control group consisting of 40 shoulders in 20 subjects without shoulder pain. RESULTS Four patterns of uptake were noted: (1) glenoid type I (n = 16), with uptake in RI, AJC, and AR; (2) glenoid type II (n = 2),with uptake in AJC and AR; (3) glenoid type III (n = 2), with uptake in RI and AJC; (4) focal type (n = 2), with uptake in RI or AR. Affected side SUVmax for RI, AJC, and AR was significantly higher compared with the unaffected side and the control group. Two shoulders with stage I AC had patterns similar to the ones with stage II or III. CONCLUSION Specific patterns of (18)F-FDG uptake with dominant uptake in RI, AJC, or AR may be related to AC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is currently unclear as to whether there is a difference in the clinical effectiveness of an arthroscopic capsular release compared to a manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) in patients with recalcitrant idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. METHODS A systematic review was performed using computerized keyword searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Two reviewers independently performed searches and article reduction. Studies that reported outcomes data following either a manipulation under regional or general anaesthesia or an arthroscopic capsular release in patients with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis were included. Data on clinical measures of shoulder range of motion and subjective outcome measures were extracted and summarized. RESULTS Twenty-two studies (21 studies provided level IV evidence) including 989 patients were included resulting in a comparison of 9 MUA and 17 capsular release groups. Patients were 60% female with a median age of 52 years old (range, 24-91 years). Median duration of symptoms and follow-up were 9 months (range, 3-50) and 35 months (range, 3-189), respectively. There were minimal differences in the median changes in abduction, flexion, and external rotation range of motion (ROM), and final Constant score between the MUA and capsular release groups. CONCLUSION The quality of evidence available is low and the data available demonstrate little benefit for a capsular release instead of, or in addition to, an MUA. A high quality study is required to definitively evaluate the relative benefits of these procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the short-term clinical effects of the intra-articular injection of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis. METHODS A prospective, controlled trial compared the effects of intra-articular BoNT-A (Dysport; 200 IU, n=15) with the steroid triamcinolone acetate (TA; 20 mg, n=13) in patients suffering from adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. All patients were evaluated using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) of the pain intensity and a measurement of the range of motion (ROM) at baseline (before treatment) and at 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-treatment. RESULTS The NRS at 2 weeks (BoNT-A vs. TA; 5.0 vs. 5.2), 4 weeks (4.1 vs. 4.9) and 8 weeks (3.8 vs. 4.6) of both treatment groups were significantly lower than that measured at baseline (7.4 vs. 7.6). The ROM of patients' shoulders increased significantly from baseline in both treatment groups. There was no significant difference in the NRS of pain intensity or the ROM between the two groups. Reduction in the pain intensity score was maintained for 8 weeks post-injection in both groups. There were no significant adverse events in either treatment group. CONCLUSION The results suggest that there are no significant short-term differences between the intra-articular injections of BoNT-A and TA. Although BoNT-A has a high cost, it may be used as a safe alternative of TA to avoid the steroid-induced side effects or as a second-line agent, for patients who have failed to respond to the current treatments.

Abstract
Aims: The aim of our study was to compare the effects of suprascapular nerve block in patients with frozen shoulder and diabetes mellitus unresponsive to intraarticular steroid injections. Settings and Design: Ten patients without improvement of sign and symptoms after intraarticular injections were made a suprascapular nerve block. Methods: Pain levels and active range of movement of patients were recorded at initial attendance and after 1, 4, and 12 weeks. All patients’ simple pain scores, total pain scores, and range of motion of their shoulders were improved significantly after suprascapular nerve block. Statistical Analysis: In this study, the statistical analyses were performed by using the SPSS 8.0 program (SPSS Software, SPSS Inc., USA). To compare pre- and post-injection results of simple pain score, total pain score, shoulder abduction and external rotation, Wilcoxon test was used. Results: Patient's simple pain scores, total pain scores also abduction, external rotation and internal rotation angles were improved significantly after suprascapular nerve block. Conclusion: Effective results after suprascapular nerve blockage was obtained for the treatment of refractory frozen shoulder cases.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the additive effect of sono-guided subacromial bursa injection of hyaluronate with steroid in patients with peri-articular shoulder disorders. Method This prospective randomized controlled trial involved 26 patients who had shoulder pain. Group A, consisting of 13 patients, was treated with a sono-guided subacromial bursa injection containing a mixture of 0.5% lidocaine (5 ml) and triamcinolone 40 mg (1 ml), followed by injection with sodium hyaluronate (2 ml) once a week for 3 weeks. The other 13 patients (Group B) were treated with a sono-guided subacromial bursa injection containing a mixture of 0.5% lidocaine (5 ml) and triamcinolone 40 mg (1 ml) once a week for 3 weeks. The effects were assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) of shoulder pain, active range of motion (AROM), shoulder function assessment scale (SFA), shoulder disability questionnaire (SDQ) at study entry and every week from first injection until 4 weeks after the 1st injection (= 2 weeks after 3rd injection). Results (1) Demographic features and all parameters measured before injection did not show a significant difference between the 2 groups. (2) Statistically significant improvements were shown in VAS, SFA, SDQ during the 1st, 2nd, and 4th week after the first injection in both groups (p<0.05). (3) SFA showed significant improvement at 1 week after injection only in group A (p<0.05). (4) AROM of internal rotation showed significant improvement at week 4 after the 1st injection only in group A (p<0.05). Conclusion Subacromial bursa injection of hyaluronate with steroid in patients with peri-articular shoulder disorders has additive effects on functional improvement of the affected shoulder, including the AROM of internal rotation.

Treatment of frozen shoulder with intra-articular injection of botulinum toxin in shoulder joints. Med Hypotheses 2011; 77:305-7.

Abstract
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a disease of chronic inflammation and fibrosis involving the shoulder joints. The disease is challenging in clinical practice due to painful treatment course, with disease evolution usually lasting weeks or even months, causing significant discomfort and functional loss. Botulinum toxin (BTX) has been discovered to possess abilities in pain management at various clinical diseases. The actual mechanism is still under investigation, and involves inhibition of neurotransmitter release. In addition, BTX is also found to retard process of fibrosis, which is also a key issue in pathogenesis of frozen shoulder. Therefore, we hypothesize that intra-articular injection of BTX can be an effective alternative for treatment of frozen shoulder.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of presumed rotator cuff pathology based on radiologist and surgeon interpretation of preoperative magnetic resonance images (MRIs) with actual rotator cuff pathology found intraoperatively in patients undergoing arthroscopic capsular release for adhesive capsulitis.The medical records of 38 consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic glenohumeral capsular release for adhesive capsulitis between September 2001 and May 2007 were retrospectively reviewed. Radiologist and surgeon predicted status of the rotator cuff by prospective MRI interpretation was compared to the actual status of the rotator cuff intraoperatively. Radiologists' preoperative MRI interpretations predicted a 57.9% incidence of rotator cuff pathology, while operative findings revealed a true incidence of only 13.2% (P<.0001). Radiologists accurately predicted the absence or presence of a rotator cuff tear in 19 of 38 cases (50%), compared to the surgeon, who correctly interpreted 29 of 38 MRIs (76.3%).Interpretations of shoulder MRIs in patients with adhesive capsulitis may provide misleading information regarding rotator cuff pathology. The actual findings of shoulder MRI scans may lead to the appearance of false rotator cuff pathology in this population, and a high percentage of false positive MRI reports of rotator cuff tears was observed in these patients. If MRI is chosen as a diagnostic adjunct in this patient population, careful consideration should be given to its interpretation to avoid unnecessary or possibly aggravating surgical intervention.

Abstract
This article provides a review of the evaluation and treatment of common injuries to the shoulder, humerus, and clavicle in the emergency department (ED) setting. In addition to a focused review of the shoulder's physical examination, topics include common emergent injuries such as glenohumeral dislocations, proximal humerus fractures, and acromioclavicular separations as well as less common, but important injuries including pectoralis and biceps tendon injuries and sternoclavicular dislocations. Accurate recognition and management of these injuries is essential in the optimal care of patients in the ED.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was the prospective evaluation of the results of fluoroscopic-guided intra-articular cortisone injection series in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. Twenty-five patients (9 m, 16 w) with a mean age of 49 ± 8 years and stage II frozen shoulder syndrome according to the Reeves classification were treated with an intra-articular cortisone injection series (3 injections at 0, 4, 12, weeks). Clinical examination, ASES score and SF 36 score were performed at 0, 4, 8, 12 weeks, 6 and 12 months. In the results, significant improvements were seen in flexion (99 ± 30°-119 ± 31°, P < .0001), abduction (72 ± 24-99 ± 34°, P < .0001), external rotation (14 ± 16°-28 ± 21°, P < .0001) and internal rotation already at first follow-up after 4 weeks of treatment. The results were confirmed at any other follow-up. ASES score improved from 28 ± 13 to 45 ± 18 after 4 weeks (P < .0001), 59 ± 21 after 8 weeks (P < .0001), 63 ± 25 at 3 months (P < .0001), 64 ± 28 (P < .0001) at 6 months and 73 ± 27 (P < .0001) points at final follow-up after 1 year. Evaluation of the SF-36 Score showed significant improvements in almost all categories (physical and mental) after 4 weeks of treatment (P < .05). In conclusion, a fluoroscopic-guided intra-articular injection series of cortisone is an effective treatment option in frozen shoulder syndrome leading to a fast pain reduction and increased range motion.
