Abstract

BACKGROUND: Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) is characterised by pain and loss of range of motion of the glenohumeral joint. It can be present as primary (idiopathic) or secondary to surgery, trauma or other conditions that restrict the use of the shoulder joint. Various treatment options have been adopted including physiotherapy, manipulation under anaesthetic, hydrodilatation and arthroscopic or open capsular release but the optimal form of management remains uncertain.
