Intra-articular distension without arthrography for adhesive capsulitis

Intra-articular injection of hyaluronate versus corticosteroid in adhesive capsulitis.

The goal of this study was to prospectively compare the early clinical results of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate or corticosteroid in patients with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis. The authors' hypothesis was that there would be no difference between groups. Sixty-eight patients with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis were equally randomized to receive either corticosteroid or hyaluronate ...

Intra-articular distension and steroids in the management of capsulitis of the shoulder.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether there is any synergistic effect in the administration of intraarticular steroids with distension in the management of early capsulitis of the shoulder. DESIGN Prospective randomised trial of three treatments--namely distension only, steroid only, and steroid with distension. SETTING Academic department of orthopaedic and accident surgery at Queen's Medical Cen...

Multi-modal imaging of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder

UNLABELLED Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder is a clinical condition characterized by progressive limitation of active and passive mobility of the glenohumeral joint, generally associated with high levels of pain. Although the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis is based mainly on clinical examination, different imaging modalities including arthrography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance, and magne...

Comparison of Sono-guided Capsular Distension with Fluoroscopically Capsular Distension in Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder

OBJECTIVE To investigate the short-term effects and advantages of sono-guided capsular distension, compared with fluoroscopically guided capsular distension in adhesive capsulitis of shoulder. METHOD In this prospective, randomized, and controlled trial, 23 patients (group A) were given an intra-articular injection of a mixture of 0.5% lidocaine (9 ml), contrast dye (10 ml), and triamcinolone...
