Journal of Orthopaedic Science Available online 2 April 2019 Du Hwan Kim Abstract Background Although numerous studies have suggested that frozen shoulder (FS) is a self-limiting disease with most patients recovering within 2 years, its long-term outcome is still controversial. The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinical outcomes after conservative treatment for […]

Frozen shoulder is a commonly found disorder that is both painful and debilitating to a patient. Currently, no standard treatment protocol is universally accepted for the management of frozen shoulder. The authors of this study examine the effectiveness of hydraulic distention, also known as hydroplasty, as a fast, inexpensive, low risk manoeuvre for the management […]

This review found a lack of evidence to support the long-running notion that frozen shoulder is a self-limiting condition with identifiable stages of progression (painful, stiff and recovery phases) and complete resolution of symptoms, even without treatment. The proposed timing of this progression – slower gains in the beginning and faster ones at the end […]
