Arthroscopic release of the tightened joint capsule, for a Frozen Shoulder that has not improved with Physical Therapy and time.
Frozen Shoulder Treatment
The shoulder joint is enclosed in a capsule of connective tissue. In a Frozen Shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, that capsule becomes inflamed, thickens and tightens, and the shoulder gradually loses movement in every direction. The condition usually passes through a painful stage, a stiff stage and a slow stage of recovering movement, over many months. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, offers Non-Surgical Care first, and performs arthroscopic Capsular Release for a shoulder whose stiffness does not resolve.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
Will a Frozen Shoulder get better on its own?
Many frozen shoulders improve without an operation, over a period that can run to many months. Physical Therapy is used to keep the shoulder moving during that time, and surgery is considered only for a shoulder that remains stiff and painful after it.
What causes a Frozen Shoulder?
Often there is no clear cause. It can follow a period in which the shoulder was kept still, such as after an injury or an operation, and it is more common in people with diabetes.
Is a Frozen Shoulder the same as Arthritis?
No. In a Frozen Shoulder the joint surfaces are usually healthy, and the problem is the capsule around them. In Arthritis the cartilage surfaces themselves are worn. The examination and imaging are used to tell the two apart.
Why does Physical Therapy matter so much after the operation?
The release loosens the capsule, and the Physical Therapy that follows keeps the shoulder from tightening again while it heals. The stretching begins within days of the operation and continues at home for several months.
