Clinically Relevant Anatomy
[edit | edit source]
Adhesive capsulitis is also known as frozen shoulder. It involves progressive stiffness of the glenohumeral joint.[1] Adhesive capsulitis can be primary when it is idiopathic or secondary when it results from a known cause or surgical event. [2]
Mechanism of Injury / Pathological Process
[edit | edit source]
Adhesive capsulitis has been reported to affect 2-3% of the general population and up to 30% of people with type II diabetes. It is more common in women aged 40-60. [2] While recurrence in the same shoulder is rare, contra-lateral shoulder involvement has been estimated between 20-30%.[1] Other identified risk factors include cervical disk disease, iimmobilization of the shoulder, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune diseases.
