Current review of adhesive capsulitis.

چکیده
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a common condition involving scapulohumeral pain and loss of motion. This condition was termed ‘‘peri-arthritis scapulohumerale’’ by Duplay in 1896. Codman, in 1934, characterized the diagnosis of ‘‘frozen shoulder’’ as a condition characterized by pain and reduced range of motion in the affected shoulder. Neviaser, in the prearthroscopic era, subsequently used the term ‘‘adhesive capsulitis’’ to describe the findings of chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the joint capsule, although arthroscopic examination would support the term ‘‘fibrotic capsulitis’’ with the absence of adhesions. The current consensus definition of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons is ‘‘a condition of uncertain etiology characterized by significant restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion that occurs in the absence of a known intrinsic shoulder disorder.’’ Despite the large number of patients affected by this condition, our understanding of the condition is limited. In the past, the term ‘‘frozen shoulder’’ has often been used to describe other shoulder conditions such as subacromial bursitis and calcific tendonitis. Neviaser and Neviaser described the term ‘‘frozen shoulder’’ as a ‘‘waste-can diagnosis,’’ because it was often overused and misapplied to patients with a stiff and painful shoulder. Conditions such as calcific tendonitis, bicipital tenosynovitis, glenohumeral and acromioclavicular arthritis, and tears of the rotator cuff can lead to a stiff and painful shoulder, causing apparent limitation of active range of motion, but they lack true

Adhesive capsulitis: use the evidence to integrate your interventions.
Frozen shoulder syndrome, clinically known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful and debilitating condition affecting up to 5% of the population.
