Overview
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of ultrasus-guided hydrodilation of Rotator Cuff Interval combined with Posterior Glenohumeral recess approach and hydrodilation of the Rotator cuff Interval alone in Adhesive Capsulitis.
Description
For patients with perihumeral arthritis, shoulder capsule hydrodilation is usually performed using ultrasound-guided water dilation through the posterior glenohumeral recess. Recently, a new transrotator cuff space approach has been described, and this study was designed to compare the efficacy of triamcinolone olonide transrotator cuff space combined with posterior glenohumeral recess and rotator cuff space dilation in the treatment of adhesive joint capsitis.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥18 years old, clinical diagnosis of periarthritis of shoulder;
- symptom duration > 1 month, shoulder ROM limitation in at least two directions, defined as abduction < 80°, flexion < 130°, and rotation < 30°;
- Before enrollment, the patients received plain radiographs, ultrasound images, and magnetic resonance imaging to rule out the cause of secondary shoulder capsitis.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Secondary frozen shoulder, such as rotator cuff tear, calcifying tendinitis, osteoarthritis, infection, tuberculosis infection, rheumatic disease, shoulder impingement syndrome;
- Previous history of shoulder joint surgery;
- Involved cervical nervous system symptoms or abnormal nervous system;
- corticosteroid injection in the affected shoulder within 3 months;
- Mental illness;
- Patients with contraindications to cortisol-hormone use.
