"Frozen shoulder" comprises a group of conditions caused by different processes. Effective treatment depends on recognition of the underlying pathologic dis-order in each individual case. Idiopathic adhesive capsulitis usually responds to nonoperative therapy or closed manipulation, but shoulder stiffness due to trauma or surgery may necessitate either an arthroscopic or an open-release procedu...

BACKGROUND A Hill-Sachs lesion of the humeral head after a shoulder dislocation is clinically insignificant in most cases. However, a sizable defect will engage with the anterior rim of the glenoid and cause instability even after anterior glenoid reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of arthroscopic capsulotenodesis of the posterior capsule and infraspinatus ten...

The use of ultrasound in clinical anaesthesia has largely contributed to the development nerve block technique recent years. In standard ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block, C5 and C6 roots are directly infiltrated. Hemi diaphragmatic paresis almost usually follows arthroscopic shoulder surgery, despite fact that it offers highly effective postoperative analgesia [1].

INTRODUCTION Septic arthritis of the shoulder is uncommon in adults. It is a surgical emergency as joint destruction occurs rapidly and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Accurate diagnosis can be particularly challenging in patients with underlying liver disease. MRI is a useful adjunct in early detection of atypical causes of shoulder pain. CASE REPORT A 43 years old male came...

Arthroscopic pancapsular release has been recommended for recalcitrant frozen shoulder, but regaining range of motion has not been sufficient compared with the unaffected side. There is no consensus about the reasons for these remaining restrictions in range of motion, but residual capsular or connective tissue must be considered a candidate. A thickened coracohumeral ligament at the rotator in...

INTRODUCTION We describe a rare case of a patient with unilateral musculoskeletal manifestation of tuberculosis presented as bursitis of the left shoulder with rice bodies, without coexisting active tuberculosis or tuberculosis in the previous history. CASE REPORT A 21 year old patient was examined, who complained of pain and swelling in the left shoulder for 2 years. MRI showed a large amoun...

433 R arthrography is the preferred imaging technique for the investigation of patients with shoulder instability [1, 2]. MR arthrography reliably shows subtle lesions of the labroligamentous complex, providing information essential to the surgeon concerning the surgery or arthroscopic repair. Most patients presenting with shoulder instability have anterior instability; in these cases, evaluati...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Shoulder impingement syndrome is common, but treatment is controversial. Arthroscopic acromioplasty is popular even though its efficacy is unknown. In this study, we analyzed stage-II shoulder impingement patients in subgroups to identify those who would benefit from the operation. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a previous randomized study, 140 patients were either treated wit...
