Surgery or Capsular Distention With Steroid in the Treatment of Primary Frozen Shoulder?
Arthroscopic Capsulotomy vs Arthrographic Distention With Steroid in the Treatment of Primary Frozen Shoulder. A Randomized Study

The purpose of the study is to compare two different treatment regimens for primary frozen shoulder: Arthroscopic capsulotomy and arthrographic distention with steroid.

Patients with primary frozen shoulder will be randomized to two different treatments and the outcome will be measured.
Interventional

Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Adhesive Capsulitis
  • Procedure: Arthroscopic capsular release
    Surgical division of thickened capsule in the shoulder
  • Procedure: Distention with steroid
    Intraarticular distention with steroid, saline, contrast and local anaesthetic
  • Active Comparator: Arthroscopic Capsulotomy
    Arthroscopic capsular release
    Intervention: Procedure: Arthroscopic capsular release
  • Active Comparator: Distention with steroid
    Arthrographic distention with contrast, saline, steroid and local anaesthetic
    Intervention: Procedure: Distention with steroid

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. The patient must have understood all information about the project and must have signed the informed consent letter about participation in the study including rehabilitation and follow-up

  2. The patients must have a history and clinical findings typical for primary frozen shoulder with globally reduced range of motion in the shoulder.

    • External rotation 20 degrees or less
    • Abduction 45 degrees or less
  3. The patients must not be in phase 1 (inflammation phase)
  4. Diabetics may be included
  5. MRI must be taken to exclude other reasons for stiffness

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Other reasons for stiffness( cuff rupture, arthritis)
  2. Posttraumatic or postoperative stiffness
  3. Patients not suited for day surgery
  4. Patients with a history of subacromial impingement before developing stiffness
