Frozen Shoulder

Acute frozen shoulder is an inflammation of the synovial membrane. It often occurs with a delay on both sides.

Symptoms

Spontaneous onset of painful frozen shoulder with restriction of movement in all directions

Causes

The cause is still not clear.

Therapy

This "adhesive capsulitis" is usually treated conservatively. If treatment is resistant, the joint is mobilized arthroscopically with simultaneous arthroscopic removal of the inflamed joint mucosa. Intensive physiotherapy exercises are required immediately after the operation.
