OBJECTIVE:Describe the outcomes of patients with adhesive capsulitis treated with arthroscopic surgical procedure.METHODS:Between January and September of 2009, 9 patients (10 cases) underwent arthroscopic surgical release. There were 4 male (one bilateral) and 5 female patients. Their mean age was 51 years (27-63). The time from onset of symptoms to the surgical procedure averaged 23.4 months (6-38). Preoperative assessment was based on the UCLA and Constant score. ROM was evaluated with one week and six months of surgery.RESULTS:According to UCLA shoulder score (p < 0.01) it increased from 9.8 preoperatively (6-14) to 31.6 postoperatively (26-35) and the Constant (p < 0.01) from 20 (13-27) to 79.2 (66-91). ROM improved significantly, with mean passive elevation changing from 89° (80-100°) preoperatively to 150° postoperatively with one week and 153° with six months, mean passive external rotation changing from 12.5° (0-30°) preoperatively to 46° (one week) and 56° (six months) postoperatively, and passive internal rotation from L5 (T12-gluteus) to T11 (one week) and T9 (six months). There was not statistical significance of the duration of the disease and the postoperative result.CONCLUSION:This study shows that the surgical treatment of adhesive capsulitis with arthroscopic capsular release and manipulation appears to be a safe procedure that results in pain relief and functional gain.
