Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic effect of combining ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation with hyaluronic acid and physical therapy compared with physical therapy alone in patients with adhesive capsulitis. DESIGN A prospective, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial. SETTING Single medical centre. PARTICIPANTS Patients with adhesive capsulitis (N = 62) were divided into group A: ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation with hyaluronic acid + physical therapy (N = 31) and group B: physical therapy alone (N = 31). INTERVENTIONS Group A received three doses of ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation with hyaluronic acid-based injectates (20 mL in total). Both groups underwent structured physical therapy. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measure was Constant score, while secondary outcomes included Shoulder Pain and Disability Index score, numerical rating scale (at rest, night, and during motion), 36-item Short Form Health Survey, and range of motion of the shoulder. All measurements were collected at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks post-injection. RESULTS At week 12, the Constant scores were 68.29 ± 14.55 and 62.77 ± 14.44 for groups A and B, respectively. There was a greater reduction in the Constant score, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, and numerical rating scale between the baseline and 6 weeks and between the baseline and 12 weeks in group A (Constant score: p < 0.05, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index: p < 0.01, and numerical rating scale: p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The combination of ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation with hyaluronic acid in conjunction with physical therapy provides additional benefits compared to physical therapy alone for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis at up to 12 weeks. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02708706.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is unclear whether hydrodilatation is beneficial in the management of frozen shoulder compared with other common conservative management modalities. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of hydrodilatation for the management of frozen shoulder. SOURCES OF DATA A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. An extensive search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Central, Web of Science and CINAHL databases using multiple keyword combinations of 'shoulder', 'rotator', 'adhesive capsulitis', 'hydrodilatat*', 'distension' since inception of the databases to June 2023 was implemented. AREAS OF AGREEMENT Hydrodilatation leads to at least transient more marked improvements in shoulder disability and passive external rotation compared with intra-articular corticosteroid injections. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY Hydrodilatation improves passive external rotation in the longer term. Moreover, hydrodilatation may be a preferable option over manipulation under anaesthesia, given its lower cost and better patient convenience. GROWING POINTS Intensive mobilization after hydrodilatation is a promising adjuvant treatment option for patients suffering from a frozen shoulder. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH Although current evidence suggests that hydrodilatation provides a transient improvement in disability in patients with frozen shoulder, its clinical relevance remains unclear. Further research is necessary to establish its role in the management of the condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultrasound is increasingly being utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of adhesive capsulitis. OBJECTIVE To compare the therapeutic effects and advantages of combined handheld ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided intra-articular corticosteroid injection with those of conventional ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection in adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. METHODS A total of 39 patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A patients (n= 19) underwent combined handheld ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided corticosteroid injection and group B patients (n= 20) underwent conventional ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection to the intra-articular space of the shoulder twice. Treatment efficacy was assessed at 2 and 6 weeks after the final injection, based on the verbal numeric pain scale, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, and range of motion. Secondary outcome measures were the accuracy and procedure time. RESULTS Both injection methods were effective in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis. No significant differences in treatment efficacy and injection accuracy were observed between the two groups (p> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study showed no statistical differences in treatment efficacy between 2 groups. However, the combined use of ultrasound and fluoroscopy can increase the accuracy of injection compared with conventional ultrasound alone.

Abstract
Background Frozen shoulder (FS) is a common progressive disorder that causes restricted motion and refractory pain undermining quality of life. Intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injection is a widely adopted conservative therapy relieving symptomatic FS, whereas the effect of which were contradictory and unclear in current literatures. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether intra-articular HA administration facilitates symptomatic pain relief and functional improvements in patients diagnosed with shoulder FS. Methods The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library electronic databases and Google scholar were searched, from inception to 15th Jan 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing intra-articular HA administration with any other non-surgical treatment in patients with FS were included. Risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool and meta-analyses were undertaken to pool the data of visual analog scale for pain, range of motion (ROM) in external rotation, abduction, and flexion, as well as Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), Constant score and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES). Results The present study included 7 RCTs involving 504 patients. The results provided no support for superior pain control in patients undergoing HA injection compared with any other treatment (p = 0.75). Furthermore, HA group failed to exert superior improvements to other treatments in ROM concerning abduction (p = 0.69) and flexion (p = 0.33). However, HA injection was observed to facilitate functional recovery in external rotation (p = 0.003). In addition, the pooled data showed a significant higher SPADI score in control group than in HA group (p = 0.01), while no statistical significance between two groups was observed in Constant score (p = 0.36) and ASES (p = 0.76). Conclusions The current meta-analysis suggested that HA is a beneficial treatment procedure in improving the ROM of the shoulder for patients with FS, whereas the effect in relieving pain may be equal to the existing therapy. In conclusion, Intra-articular HA injection is recommended for FS patients.

Orthop J Sports Med 2022; 10:23259671211069577. [PMID: 35097146 PMCID: PMC8793616 DOI: 10.1177/23259671211069577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Nonoperative and operative treatment modalities have been used for symptom management of adhesive capsulitis, but neither has been shown to significantly alter the long-term natural history. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to evaluate the current trends in resource and treatment strategy utilization for patients with adhesive capsulitis. It was hypothesized that (1) patients with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis will primarily undergo nonoperative treatment and (2) patients with systemic medical comorbidities will demonstrate relatively higher utilization of nonoperative therapies. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We searched the Mariner/PearlDiver database for Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases codes to identify patients with adhesive capsulitis from 2010 to 2020 and to track their usage of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, including radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), physical therapy, surgery, opioids, and injection. Patients with active records 1 year before and 2 years after initial diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis were eligible. Excluded were patients with secondary causes of adhesive capsulitis, such as fracture, infection, prior surgery, or other intra-articular pathology. Results: The median age of this 165,937-patient cohort was 58 years, with 67% being women. There was a high prevalence of comorbid diabetes (44.2%), thyroid disorder (29.6%), and Dupuytren contracture (1.3%). Within 2 years of diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis, diagnostic and therapeutic modality utilization included radiography (47.2%), opioids (46.7%), physical therapy (43.1%), injection (39.0%), MRI (15.8%), arthroscopic surgery (2.7%), and manipulation under anesthesia (2.5%). Over 68% of the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities were rendered from 3 months before to 3 months after diagnosis. Patients with diabetes, thyroid disorders, tobacco use, and obesity had greater odds for treatment with physical therapy, opioids, radiography, and injection when compared with patients without these comorbidities (odds ratio [OR] range, 1.05-2.21; P < .0001). Patients with diabetes and thyroid disorders had decreased odds for surgery (OR range, 0.88-0.91; P ≤ .003). Patients with Dupuytren contracture had increased odds for all therapeutic modalities (OR range, 1.20-1.68; P < .0001). Conclusion: Patients with adhesive capsulitis underwent primarily nonoperative treatment, with a high percentage utilizing opioids. The most active periods for treatment were from 3 months before diagnosis to 3 months after, and patients with medical comorbidities were more likely to undergo nonoperative treatment.

Does the timing of shoulder manipulation under ultrasound-guided cervical nerve root block for frozen shoulder affect the clinical outcome? J Orthop Sci 2022; 27:122-125. [PMID: 33358448 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2020.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Revised: 09/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the clinical outcomes of manipulation under ultrasound-guided fifth and sixth cervical nerve root block for frozen shoulder have been reported, few studies have focused on the timing of manipulation. This study aimed to determine whether the timing of manipulation impacts the clinical outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of 103 frozen shoulder patients (mean age 51.5 years) who underwent manipulation in one shoulder (n = 103 shoulders) between January 2012 and April 2019. Stiff shoulder was defined as limited range of motion in at least three directions, i.e., passive forward flexion of ≤100°, passive external rotation at the side of ≤10°, and internal rotation of ≤L5. The patients were categorized into two groups: those mobilized within 6 months after symptom onset (early group, 44 shoulders) and those mobilized >6 months after symptom onset (late group, 59 shoulders). The range of motion (forward flexion, external rotation, and internal rotation), Japanese Orthopaedic Association shoulder scores, Constant Shoulder Score, and University of California, Los Angeles scores before and 3, 6, and 12 months after manipulation were compared between groups. RESULTS The late group exhibited significant improvement in forward flexion, external rotation, internal rotation, Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores, Constant Shoulder Score, and University of California, Los Angeles scores at 3 months; forward flexion at 6 months; and forward flexion and University of California, Los Angeles scores at 12 months after manipulation compared to the early group. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that timing has a significant influence on the outcome of manipulation for frozen shoulders. The optimal time for manipulation may be >6 months after symptom onset. These findings can be applied in counselling for frozen shoulder patients and for improved outcomes after manipulation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine which interventions optimize clinical outcomes in adhesive capsulitis by performing a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. METHODS A systematic review was conducted of all clinical trials on adhesive capsulitis published since 2008. Patient cohorts were grouped into treatment categories; data collected included range of motion (ROM) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Interventions were compared across groups by means of arm-based Bayesian network meta-analysis in a random-effects model. RESULTS Sixty-six studies comprising 4042 shoulders (57.6% female patients, age 54.8 ± 3.2 years [mean ± standard deviation]) were included. The most commonly studied interventions were physical therapy (PT) or shoulder injections. Network meta-analysis demonstrated that arthroscopic surgical capsular release was the most effective treatment in increasing ROM. This effect was apparent in forward flexion (effect difference [ED] versus placebo, 44°, 95% confidence interval [CI] 31° to 58°), abduction (ED 58°, 45° to 71°), internal rotation (ED 34°, 24° to 44°), and external rotation (ED 59°, 37° to 80°). Interventions most effective for pain relief included PT supplemented with either medical therapy (ED -4.50, -9.80 to 2.80) or ultrasound therapy (ED -5.10, -5.10 to -1.40). Interventions most effective for improvement of functional status included PT, manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), intra-articular or subacromial steroid injection, surgical capsular release, and supplementation of PT with alternative therapy. CONCLUSIONS No one treatment emerged superior in regard to ROM, pain symptoms, and functional status. Surgery (after failure of conservative treatment) ranked highest across all ROM domains. Treatments that ranked highest for treatment of pain included PT supplemented with either medical therapy or ultrasound. Finally, treatments that ranked highest for improvements in functional status included MUA, PT with medical therapy, surgical intervention, PT with ultrasound, PT with injection, and injection alone. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II, systematic review and network meta-analysis of level I and II studies.

Abstract
Objectives
Shoulder stiffness is a condition of restricted glenohumeral range of motion (ROM), which can arise spontaneously or as consequence of a known cause. Several treatment options are available and currently no consensus has been obtained on which treatment algorithm represents the best choice for the patient. The aim of this study was to investigate surgeon practice patterns in Italy regarding treatment of primary shoulder stiffness.
Methods
A literature review was performed to identify randomized controlled trials reporting results of shoulder stiffness treatment. The following controversial or critical points in the treatment of primary shoulder stiffness were identified: modalities of physical therapy; indication for oral corticosteroid; indication and frequency for injective corticosteroid; technique and site of injection; and indication, timing, and technique for surgery. A survey composed by 14 questions was created and administrated to the members of a national association specialized in orthopaedics and sports traumatology (SIGASCOT at the time of survey completion, recently renamed SIAGASCOT after the fusion of the societies SIGASCOT and SIA).
Results
A total of 204 completed questionnaires were collected. Physical therapy was recommended by 98% of the interviewed. The use of oral corticosteroids was considered by 51%, and injections of corticosteroids by 72%. The posterior injection approach was the one preferred and a number of three was considered the upper limit for repeated injections. Injective therapy with local anesthetics and hyaluronic acid was considered by more than 20% of the interviewed. Thirty percent of the interviewed did not treat shoulder stiffness surgically.
Conclusion
Several approaches to shoulder stiffness have been proposed and high-level evidence is available to analyze and discuss their results. Several controversial points emerged both from a literature review and from this national survey. Treatment of shoulder stiffness should be tailored to the patient's clinical situation and the stage of its pathology and should aim at pain reduction, ROM restoration, functional regain, and shortening of symptoms duration, with conservative therapy remaining the mainstay of treatment.

[PMID: 33902546 PMCID: PMC8074703 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-021-04261-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background As the primary treatment for adhesive capsulitis, intensive and accurate home exercise is as important as physical therapy in hospitals. Augmented reality (AR)-based telerehabilitation has been implemented recently in various musculoskeletal conditions to increase patient compliance and enable patients to exercise with the correct posture. The objective of this study is to present a protocol for investigating the additive effect of interactive AR-based telerehabilitation in comparison with the usual care for patients with adhesive capsulitis. Methods This study presents the protocol of a prospective, multi-center, single-blinded, two-armed randomized controlled trial (RCT). One hundred patients with stage I or II adhesive capsulitis will be recruited at the physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups with 1:1 allocation. The intervention group will receive 3 months of hospital-based physical therapy in conjunction with home-based telerehabilitation. The control group will receive 3 months of hospital-based physical therapy in conjunction with a home-based exercise described in a brochure provided by the hospital. The primary outcome will be the change in passive range of motion (ROM) of the affected shoulder joint from baseline to 12 weeks after baseline assessment. The secondary outcomes will be active ROM, pain measured with the numeric rating scale, shoulder pain and disability index, 36-Item Short Form Survey, EuroQoL-5D-5L, and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Discussion This will be the first RCT study protocol to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation in patients with adhesive capsulitis. The result of this RCT will determine whether AR-based telerehabilitation is more effective than a brochure-based home exercise program and will provide evidence of the usefulness of “telerehabilitation” using hardware (IoT) and software (monitoring platform) technologies to develop “digital therapeutics” for the future. Trial registration This trial was retrospectively registered at the Clinicaltrials.gov website on 20 March 2020, with the identifier NCT04316130.

INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2021; 45:1455-1461. [PMID: 33459829 PMCID: PMC8178136 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-020-04909-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Adhesive capsulitis of the hip (ACH) is likely that this condition had been previously encountered, but easily unrecognised. We investigated the clinical features of patients with ACH, the efficacy of ultrasound-guided intra-articular hydrodilatation, and the patients’ prognosis. Methods We enrolled 84 patients (93 hips) who visited the outpatient clinic from August 2018 to November 2019. ACH was diagnosed by restricted range of motion and sharp pain when turning with the affected leg fixed on the ground. We evaluated patient demographics and associated intra-articular pathologies found on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images. Injections were performed twice at two week intervals with a mixture of 0.5% lidocaine (25 mL) and triamcinolone (40 mg; 1 mL) with capsular distension under ultrasound guidance. Patients were assessed before and after treatment using a visual analogue scale (VAS), hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score (HOOS), hip range of motion (ROM), and distance from floor to knee (DFK) when sitting in the cross-legged position. Results On MRA, 18 patients had abnormal findings (eight labral tears, seven abductor tendinosis, three primary arthrosis). The mean VAS decreased from 7.1 ± 1.1 to 0.8 ± 0.9 after the last injection, and the HOOS improved in all subsets. The mean DFK decreased from 17.9 ± 4.8 to 9.7 ± 2.8 cm, and passive ROM showed improvement, especially in flexion and rotation. In seven patients, symptom recurrence was reported a mean of 4.1 months after the latest injection, but no independent risk factor for recurrence was identified. Conclusion Based on these current observations, patients with ACH may receive relief from hip joint pain and experience improved function with a timely diagnosis and effective treatment.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE There are a myriad of available treatment options for patients with frozen shoulder, which can be overwhelming to the treating health care professional. OBJECTIVE To assess and compare the effectiveness of available treatment options for frozen shoulder to guide musculoskeletal practitioners and inform guidelines. DATA SOURCES Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and CINHAL were searched in February 2020. STUDY SELECTION Studies with a randomized design of any type that compared treatment modalities for frozen shoulder with other modalities, placebo, or no treatment were included. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data were independently extracted by 2 individuals. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guideline. Random-effects models were used. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Pain and function were the primary outcomes, and external rotation range of movement (ER ROM) was the secondary outcome. Results of pairwise meta-analyses were presented as mean differences (MDs) for pain and ER ROM and standardized mean differences (SMDs) for function. Length of follow-up was divided into short-term (≤12 weeks), mid-term (>12 weeks to ≤12 months), and long-term (>12 months) follow-up. RESULTS From a total of 65 eligible studies with 4097 participants that were included in the systematic review, 34 studies with 2402 participants were included in pairwise meta-analyses and 39 studies with 2736 participants in network meta-analyses. Despite several statistically significant results in pairwise meta-analyses, only the administration of intra-articular (IA) corticosteroid was associated with statistical and clinical superiority compared with other interventions in the short-term for pain (vs no treatment or placebo: MD, -1.0 visual analog scale [VAS] point; 95% CI, -1.5 to -0.5 VAS points; P < .001; vs physiotherapy: MD, -1.1 VAS points; 95% CI, -1.7 to -0.5 VAS points; P < .001) and function (vs no treatment or placebo: SMD, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.3 to 0.9; P < .001; vs physiotherapy: SMD 0.5; 95% CI, 0.2 to 0.7; P < .001). Subgroup analyses and the network meta-analysis demonstrated that the addition of a home exercise program with simple exercises and stretches and physiotherapy (electrotherapy and/or mobilizations) to IA corticosteroid may be associated with added benefits in the mid-term (eg, pain for IA coritocosteriod with home exercise vs no treatment or placebo: MD, -1.4 VAS points; 95% CI, -1.8 to -1.1 VAS points; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The findings of this study suggest that the early use of IA corticosteroid in patients with frozen shoulder of less than 1-year duration is associated with better outcomes. This treatment should be accompanied by a home exercise program to maximize the chance of recovery.

Efficacy of platelet-rich plasma injections in patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2020; 45:181-190. [PMID: 33205343 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-020-04518-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2019] [Accepted: 02/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study is to investigate whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are effective in the management of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (AC). A triple-blind, randomized controlled trial was designed and conducted in a medical school hospital. METHODS 32 adult patients with adhesive capsulitis (21 female, 11 male with a mean age of 57, ranging from 23 to 70) were included in this study. Patients had to have shoulder pain and restrictions in movements (at least 25% when compared to the other side, and at least in two directions) for three months minimum and nine months maximum. Patients were randomized to two groups, and one group took PRP injections for three times every two weeks, while the other group took saline injections in same frequency and volume. A standardized exercise program was also applied to all patients. Patients were evaluated with Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), Visual Analogue Scales for pain and disability, ranges of movements, and use of analgesics in before, after, and third month after the initiation of the therapy. RESULTS Baseline comparisons between groups showed no differences. SPADI and ranges of motion in all directions showed significant improvements with therapy, and the group which took PRP injections showed better improvements when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Visual Analogue Scale was found to be better for the PRP group after therapy and third month, and not for the control group (0.4 ± 1.06 and 0.17 ± 0.72 vs. 2.5 ± 2.6 and 2 ± 2.2, respectively, p < 0.05). Use of analgesics was not found to be significant for both groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION PRP injections were found to be effective in both pain and disability, and showed improvements in a restricted shoulder due to adhesive capsulitis. These findings might point out PRP as a therapeutic option in the management of adhesive capsulitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on pain and functional outcomes in patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. We compared the effects of PRP against saline solution by designing a double blind, randomized, prospective study. DESIGN Forty-four patients with hemiplegia were included in this study. All patients received a total of 3 injections, 1 week apart. The first group received PRP injections while the second group received placebo injections. After 3 months of follow-up, 40 patients completed the trial. Primary outcome measure was movement-induced pain score (VAS), and secondary outcome measures were spontaneous pain score, shoulder passive range of motion (ROM), functional independence measure score, and the amount of paracetamol used. All subjects were evaluated at baseline, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after the completion of the last injection. RESULTS Both groups showed an improvement in spontaneous and movement-related pain scores and shoulder passive ROM values on 1st and 3rd month visits (p < 0.05). No significance difference was detected between groups (p > 0.05). Similarly, FIM scores improved significantly in both groups (p < 0.05) but no difference was found between groups. Paracetamol use did not differ significantly between groups. CONCLUSION The PRP injections were found not to be superior to placebo. Improvements in both groups can be attributed to the use of rehabilitation techniques and exercises in all patients. There is still need for further research to show whether PRP is a treatment option in the course of hemiplegic shoulder pain. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03931824.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of evidence on the clinical effectiveness of hydrodistension for frozen shoulder following failed conservative management. METHODS A total of 90 patients opted for hydrodistension following failed initial treatment which included physiotherapy and at least one corticosteroid injection. Shoulder pain and function were assessed at baseline, and 6, 12 and 24 weeks using the Shoulder Pain Disability Index (SPADI), The Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI) and a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain. Active ranges of motion were assessed at baseline, post-24 hr and discharge. RESULTS We observed clinically important improvements in pain (VAS -5.5; 90% confidence interval [CI] -6.0 to -5.0; SPADI pain, -20; 90% CI-23 to -17) and function (UEFI 23; 90% CI 19 to 26; SPADI disability, -32; 90% CI -36 to -28) at 6 weeks. These improvements remained clearly substantial at 24 weeks. Active range of motion improved substantially post-24 hr (flexion 20, 90% CI 18 to 23; lateral rotation 14, 90% CI 12 to 16; abduction 22, 90% CI 19 to 25) and at discharge (flexion 37, 90% CI 33 to 41; lateral rotation 24, 90% CI 21 to 27; abduction 44, 90% CI 38 to 50). DISCUSSION This single-arm observational study suggests that hydrodistension is an effective treatment of frozen shoulder within a UK primary care setting when standard treatment has failed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several pharmacological interventions are used for the management of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, although the optimal treatment has yet to be defined. PURPOSE To conduct a network meta-analysis to compare the effects of different pharmacological interventions for adhesive capsulitis, administered either alone or after distension of the shoulder capsule. STUDY DESIGN Network meta-analysis. METHODS The authors searched Scopus, PubMed, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up to April 22, 2018, for completed studies. They enrolled trials that assessed the results of different pharmacological treatments for the primary management of adhesive capsulitis. The primary outcome was pain relief as measured by self-administered questionnaires. The secondary outcome included the assessment of composite instruments that evaluated, at a minimum, pain and function. The authors clinically interpreted the results after back-transforming the standardized mean differences into mean differences in simple instruments and assessed the quality of the source studies using the Cochrane "risk of bias" tool. RESULTS The authors considered 30 trials with a total of 2010 participants in this systematic review. For pain relief, there was a significant difference in favor of intra-articular corticosteroids and distension of the shoulder capsule with steroids as compared with control in the short term (mean difference in visual analog scale (VAS): -1.4 [95% CI, -2.5 to -0.4] and -1.7 [95% CI, -3.2 to -0.1], respectively). Furthermore, rotator-interval injections were found to be superior to placebo (mean difference in VAS: -7.2; 95% CI, -10.1 to -4.4), although the intervention was considered in only 1 trial. Finally, there was a statistically significant difference in favor of multiple-site corticosteroid injections compared to placebo in both the short- (mean difference in Shoulder Pain and Disability Index [SPADI]: -86.7; 95% CI, -133.6 to -40) and intermediate-term assessment (mean difference in SPADI: -102.9; 95% CI, -163.9 to -41.8). CONCLUSION Intra-articular corticosteroid intervention, administered either alone or after distension of the shoulder capsule, provided clinically meaningful improvements in the short term. Likewise, rotator-interval corticosteroid injections yielded promising results in terms of pain relief. However, these short-term benefits of steroids dissipated over time. Multiple-site corticosteroid injections showed clinical advantage over placebo for short- and intermediate-term composite outcome assessments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Even though hydrodilatation has been used for 50 years, the evidence on its effectiveness is not clear. Only one earlier review has strictly focused on this treatment method. The aims of this study are to evaluate the evidence on the effectiveness of hydrodilatation in treatment of adhesive capsulitis and, if appropriate, to assess the correlation between the effects of this procedure and the amount of fluid injected. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature search on MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases was done; random-effects meta-analysis and meta-regression were employed; and cost-effectiveness and safeness analyses were left outside the scope of the review. RESULTS: Of the 270 records identified through search, 12 studies were included in qualitative and quantitative analysis and seven were included in a meta-analysis. The lower 95% confidence interval for the effect of hydrodilatation on pain severity was 0.12 indicating small effect size and mean number needed to treat 12. The pooled effect of hydrodilatation on disability level was insignificant 0.2 (95% confidence interval: -0.04 to 0.44). The lower 95% confidence interval for the effect of hydrodilatation on the range of shoulder motion was close to zero (0.07) indicating small effect size with mean number needed to treat 12. The amount of injected solution did not have a substantial effect on pain severity or range of shoulder motion. The heterogeneity level I2 was acceptable from 0% to 60%. CONCLUSION: According to current evidence, hydrodilatation has only a small, clinically insignificant effect when treating adhesive capsulitis.

Abstract
Objectives A knee joint contracture, a loss in passive range of motion (ROM), can be caused by prolonged immobility. In a rat knee immobilization flexion contracture model, the posterior capsule was shown to contribute to an irreversible limitation in ROM, and collagen pathways were identified as differentially expressed over the development of a contracture. Collagenases purified from Clostridium histolyticum are currently prescribed to treat Dupuytren’s and Peyronie’s contractures due to their ability to degrade collagen. The potential application of collagenases to target collagen in the posterior capsule was tested in this model. Materials and methods Rats had one hind leg immobilized, developing a knee flexion contracture. After 4 weeks, the immobilization device was removed, and the rats received one 50 µL intra-articular injection of 0.6 mg/mL purified collagenase. Control rats were injected with only the buffer. After 2 weeks of spontaneous remobilization following the injections, ROM was measured with a rat knee arthrometer, and histological sections were immunostained with antibodies against rat collagen types I and III. Results/conclusion Compared with buffer-injected control knees, collagenase-treated knees showed increased ROM in extension by 8.0°±3.8° (p-value <0.05). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed an increase in collagen type III staining (p<0.01) in the posterior capsule of collagenase-treated knees indicating an effect on the extracellular matrix due to the collagenase. Collagen I staining was unchanged (p>0.05). The current study provides experimental evidence for the pharmacological treatment of knee flexion contractures with intra-articular collagenase injection, improving the knee ROM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of intra-articular (IA) steroid injection and distension in patients with frozen shoulder. DATA SOURCES Databases, including MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library, were searched for studies published up to November 2016. STUDY SELECTION We included all published randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental studies, and observational studies investigating the effectiveness of IA steroid injection, distension, and physiotherapy in patients with frozen shoulder. Sixteen RCTs and 1 observational study were enrolled in meta-analysis. DATA EXTRACTION Full texts were independently reviewed, and quality of RCTs was assessed with The Cochrane Collaboration's tool. The primary outcome was functional improvement; the secondary outcomes included pain reduction and external rotation (ER) improvement. DATA SYNTHESIS In pairwise meta-analysis, pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) of functional improvement and pain reduction revealed equal efficacy at 3 follow-up time points. With respect to ER improvement, distension has a superior effect compared with IA steroid injection in the short term [(2-4wk; SMD, -.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], -.68 to -.04) and medium term (6-16wk; SMD, -0.80; 95% CI, -1.32 to -0.29). The network meta-analysis indicated a better efficacy for distension than for IA steroid injection in ER improvement only in the medium term (6-16wk; SMD, -0.70; 95% CI, -1.19 to -0.21). CONCLUSIONS IA steroid injection was as effective as distension in shoulder function improvement, pain reduction, and increasing ER of the shoulder. Distension yielded better ER improvement in the medium term but to a minor extent in the long term. For patients with predominant ER limitation, early distension could be considered the primary choice of treatment.

Wu WT, Chang KV, Han DS, Chang CH, Yang FS, Lin CP. Effectiveness of Glenohumeral Joint Dilatation for Treatment of Frozen Shoulder: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Sci Rep 2017; 7:10507. [PMID: 28874727 PMCID: PMC5585252 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-10895-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2017] [Accepted: 08/16/2017] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective was to explore the effectiveness of glenohumeral joint distension for the treatment of frozen shoulder. We searched electronic data sources including PubMed, Scopus, and Embase from the earliest records available to February 2017. Eleven randomized controlled trials including at least one pair of comparisons between capsular distension and a reference treatment were included, comprising 747 participants. Patients’ characteristics, details of reference treatments, aspects of capsular distension therapy, and outcome measurement were evaluated at three points in time: baseline, early following intervention, and at the trial’s end. The primary and secondary outcomes were the between-group standardized mean differences of changes in shoulder function and range of motion, respectively. Regarding the long-term primary outcome, the superiority of capsular distension to reference treatments was not identified. One secondary outcome (external rotation limitation) showed a probable early positive response to capsular distension when compared to intra-articular corticosteroid injection. Aspects of approaches, imaging guiding techniques and doses of distension were not found to modify treatment effectiveness. In conclusion, distension of the glenohumeral joint provides a similar long-term efficacy to all reference treatments. A single dose of a corticosteroid-contained regimen introduced through the ultrasound-guided posterior approach is a preferable practice of capsular distension for the management of frozen shoulder.

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.

Clinical efficacy of hydrodistention with joint manipulation under interscalene block compared with intra-articular corticosteroid injection for frozen shoulder: a prospective randomized controlled study. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2016; 25:1937-1943. [PMID: 27771263 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2016.09.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2016] [Revised: 08/09/2016] [Accepted: 09/07/2016] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydrodistention is known to be an effective method of treatment for frozen shoulder. However, hydrodistention is accompanied by severe pain during the procedure. An interscalene block may relieve the severe pain associated with the procedure of hydrodistention. This study compared the clinical efficacy of hydrodistention with joint manipulation under an interscalene block with that of intra-articular corticosteroid injection. METHODS This prospective randomized controlled study included 121 patients presenting with frozen shoulder. Patients were randomized into 2 groups; those in group A (60 patients) were treated by hydrodistention with joint manipulation under an interscalene block, and those in group B (61 patients) were managed with intra-articular corticosteroid injection. Pain intensity and patient satisfaction were assessed by the visual analog scale. Functional outcomes were assessed by the Constant score and the range of shoulder motion. RESULTS Group A demonstrated better patient satisfaction and earlier restoration of range of motion than group B at 6 weeks (P ≤ .001). At 12 weeks, the pain score was lower and the Constant score was better in group A than in group B. However, at 12 months after treatment, pain score (P = .717), patient satisfaction (P = .832), range of motion (P > .05), and Constant score (P = .480) were similar in the 2 groups. CONCLUSION Hydrodistention combined with joint manipulation under an interscalene block provided earlier pain relief and restoration of shoulder range of motion and function compared with single intra-articular corticosteroid injection in patients with primary frozen shoulder.

Abstract
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the association between magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with adhesive shoulder capsulitis and the
therapeutic effect of capsular distension. [Subjects and Methods] We retrospectively
reviewed the medical records of 57 patients who underwent capsular distension therapy
after a diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis with clinical and MRI scans. Axillary joint
capsular thickness by MRI was graded as I (≤3.6 mm), II (3.7–4.2 mm), and III (≥4.3 mm).
Subcoracoid fat obliteration of the rotator interval was graded subjectively as absent,
partial, and complete. [Results] Capsular thickness and fat replacement were correlated
with passive range of motion (PROM) and pain score on a visual analog scale (VAS) by
analysis of variance with a Bonferroni correction before treatment and by analysis of
covariance with a Bonferroni correction after treatment. Visual analog scale (VAS) for
patients with all grades decreased significantly after treatment and passive range of
motion (PROM) for patients with all grades improved. No difference was detected between
grades. [Conclusion] Although MRI is useful to evaluate adhesive capsulitis, MRI findings
of shoulder did not predict the prognosis after capsular distension treatment.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to develop a clinical protocol for the treatment of frozen shoulder using applied hydraulic distension plus manual therapy. [Subjects and Methods] Patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups: 60 patients in group A were treated with hydraulic distension plus manual therapy, and 61 in group B were treated with hydraulic distension alone. Treatment effects were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (pain and satisfaction), and active range of motion of the shoulder (forward flexion, internal and external rotation) before treatments and at 2, 6, 12, 24 weeks, and 1 year after the last injections. [Results] Patients in group A achieved faster pain relief and better satisfaction than patients in group B during the 6 weeks after treatment. However, no significant difference in VAS was observed between the groups at final follow-up. AROM of the shoulder was improved at final follow-up in both groups. [Conclusion] Hydraulic distension plus manual therapy provided faster pain relief, a higher level of patient satisfaction, and an earlier improvement in AROM of the shoulder than hydraulic distension alone in patients with frozen shoulder.

Abstract
Background Stooped posture was mentioned in the original description of the characteristic features of Parkinson's disease (PD). Since then, a variety of postural, bone, and joint problems have become recognized as common aspects of the illness and deserve attention. Methods A Medline literature search for the period from 1970 to 2016 was performed to identify articles relevant to this topic. Keywords for the search included posture, spine, bone disorders, fractures, joint disorders, kyphosis, scoliosis, stooping, camptocormia, Pisa syndrome, frozen shoulder, anterocollis, dropped head syndrome, and pain in combination with PD. The articles were then reviewed to summarize clinical features, frequency, impact, pathophysiology, and treatment options for these conditions. Results Postural disorders (kyphoscoliosis, camptocormia, Pisa syndrome, dropped head syndrome), bone mineralization disorders (osteoporosis, bone fractures), and joint disorders (frozen shoulder, dystonia involving joints, joint pain) are often seen in association with PD. Treatment options for these conditions are varied and may include medications, physical therapy, or surgical interventions. Conclusions Posture, bone, and joint disorders are common in patients with PD; they often produce added disability, and they may be treatable.

Abstract
Ultrasound is an established modality for shoulder evaluation, being accurate, low cost and radiation free. Different pathological conditions can be diagnosed using ultrasound and can be treated using ultrasound guidance, such as degenerative, traumatic or inflammatory diseases. Subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis is the most common finding on ultrasound evaluation for painful shoulder. Therapeutic injections of corticosteroids are helpful to reduce inflammation and pain. Calcific tendinopathy of rotator cuff affects up to 20% of painful shoulders. Ultrasound-guided treatment may be performed with both single- and double-needle approach. Calcific enthesopathy, a peculiar form of degenerative tendinopathy, is a common and mostly asymptomatic ultrasound finding; dry needling has been proposed in symptomatic patients. An alternative is represented by autologous platelet-rich plasma injections. Intra-articular injections of the shoulder can be performed in the treatment of a variety of inflammatory and degenerative diseases with corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid respectively. Steroid injections around the long head of the biceps brachii tendon are indicated in patients with biceps tendinopathy, reducing pain and humeral tenderness. The most common indication for acromion-clavicular joint injection is degenerative osteoarthritis, with ultrasound representing a useful tool in localizing the joint space and properly injecting various types of drugs (steroids, lidocaine or hyaluronic acid). Suprascapular nerve block is an approved treatment for chronic shoulder pain non-responsive to conventional treatments as well as candidate patients for shoulder arthroscopy. This review provides an overview of these different ultrasonography-guided procedures that can be performed around the shoulder.

Abstract
Joint contractures, defined as the limitation in the passive range of motion of a mobile joint, can be classified as noninflammatory diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The pathophysiology is not well understood; limited information is available on causal factors, progression, the pathophysiology involved, and prediction of response to treatment. The clinical heterogeneity of joint contractures combined with the heterogeneous contribution of joint connective tissues to joint mobility presents challenges to the study of joint contractures. Furthermore, contractures are often a symptom of a wide variety of heterogeneous disorders that are in many cases multifactorial. Extended immobility has been identified as a causal factor and evidence is provided from both experimental and epidemiology studies. Of interest is the involvement of the joint capsule in the pathophysiology of joint contractures and lack of response to remobilization. While molecular pathways involved in the development of joint contractures are being investigated, current treatments focus on physiotherapy, which is ineffective on irreversible contractures. Future treatments may include early diagnosis and prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe and evaluate ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation via the rotator interval for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients referred to our department with adhesive capsulitis were consented for hydrodilatation. Inclusion criteria included a failure to respond to conservative treatment and the absence of full thickness rotator cuff tear. Twenty-one milliliters of a mixture of local anesthetic and steroid was injected into the rotator interval using a 21-gauge needle. Patients were followed up at 2 weeks and 4 months, with documented pain scores from 0 to 10 on a visual analogue scale and the Oxford Shoulder Questionnaire. RESULTS Twenty-two patients were suitable for inclusion in the study. Nineteen were female (86 %) and three were male. The mean age was 55 years (range, 32-71 years). The duration of symptoms ranged from 4 weeks to 20 months. At 4 months, 19/22 (86 %) of patients described either complete (7/22) or good (12/22) improvement in their symptoms. The mean pain score was 8.4 prior to the procedure, 3.1 at 48 h and 1.9 at 4 months, and 20/22 (91 %) had a lower pain score after 4 months. There was a statistically significant (p < 0.05) improvement in the Oxford shoulder score, from a mean of 13.6 pre-procedure to 36.5 at 4 months. CONCLUSIONS The rotator interval and anterior joint capsule are strongly implicated in the symptomatology of adhesive capsulitis. The novel use of targeted ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation via the rotator interval gives good results in reducing shoulder pain and symptoms in adhesive capsulitis.

Abstract
Introduction. Adhesive capsulitis (AC) of the shoulder presents with an insidious onset of pain and progressive limitation of shoulder movement. Objectives. To investigate whether intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) administration alone is superior to conventional therapies and whether the addition of intra-articular HA administration to conventional therapies improves clinical outcomes in patients with AC. Methods. The PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library electronic databases were searched without language restrictions in July 2014 with a priori defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results. Four randomized controlled trials (273 participants, 278 shoulders) were included in this review. Two trials compared intra-articular HA administration with conventional therapies and 2 trials evaluated intra-articular HA administration as an addition to conventional therapies. Pain and shoulder function/disability outcomes in the HA injection group were not superior to those achieved in the conventional therapy groups. No significant differences in pain or shoulder function/disability outcomes were noted between the groups with and without adjunctive HA administration. Conclusions. Intra-articular HA administration alone is not superior to conventional AC treatments, and the addition of intra-articular HA administration to conventional therapies does not provide significant added benefits. HA administration in AC patients who are receiving conventional therapies should be evaluated to avoid unnecessary medical expenditure.

Abstract
Objective To find the most effective procedure to treat adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, we evaluated the clinical effects of an ultrasonographic-guided anterior approach capsular distension and a fluoroscopy-guided posterolateral approach capsular distension. We expected the anterior approach to be better than the posterolateral approach because the rotator interval, a triangular anatomic area in the anterosuperior aspect of the shoulder, which is considered an important component of the pathology of adhesive capsulitis. Methods Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: 27 patients in group A were injected by an anterior approach with 2% lidocaine (5 mL), contrast dye (5 mL), triamcinolone (40 mg), and normal saline (9 mL) under fluoroscopic guidance in the operating room. Twenty-seven patients in group B were injected using a posterolateral approach with 2% lidocaine (5 mL), triamcinolone (40 mg), and normal saline (14 mL) under ultrasonographic guidance. After injection, all patients received physiotherapy four times in the first postoperative week and then two times each week for eight more weeks. Treatment effects were assessed using the shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI), visual numeric scale (VNS), passive range of motion (PROM), hand power (grip and pinch) at baseline and at one week, five and nine weeks after injection. Results SPADI, VNS, PROM, and hand power improved in one week, five and nine weeks in both groups. Statistically significant differences were not observed in SPADI, VNS, PROM, or hand power between groups. Conclusion Ultrasonography-guided capsular distension by a posterolateral approach has similar effects to fluoroscopy-guided capsular distension by an anterior approach.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to illustrate the spectrum of ultrasound-guided procedures around the shoulder. The shoulder is affected by a wide range of both, traumatic and degenerative diseases. Ultrasound guidance is a low-cost and safe tool to perform minimally invasive interventional procedures around the shoulder. The clinical outcome is shown by the use of clinical scores: visual analogue scale (VAS), Constant's score and Shoulder Pain Disability Index (SPADI). Rotator cuff calcification is a common painful condition that occurs in up to 7.5 % of otherwise healthy adults. Ultrasound-guided procedures include single-needle and double-needle approach with different needles. These techniques are described and the results are critically compared. Ultrasound-guided viscosupplementation is a new therapeutic approach for treatment of several shoulder pain disorders: osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tear and tendinosis. In adhesive capsulitis, different therapeutic ultrasound-guided techniques such as corticosteroid injection, capsular distension (sodium chlorate solution; sodium chlorate and corticosteroids; air) and viscosupplementation are evaluated. Acromion-clavear injection of steroid and lidocaine solution under ultrasound guidance is easy to perform and is indicated in conservative treatment of painful osteoarthrosis. The treatment of rotator cuff tendinosis and partial tears with ultrasound-guided injection of concentrated autologous platelets is also described.
