ABSTRACT
AIM:
The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) followed by early physiotherapy in treating frozen shoulder syndrome.METHODS:
In a prospective trial conducted between 26th August 2002 and 25th June 2004 in 86 patients with frozen shoulder syndrome, MUA was performed as a day procedure. Main outcomes were Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score, a visual analogue score (VAS) for pain and range of movement, which were measured preoperatively and at six weeks postprocedure.RESULTS:
Fifty (58.1%) patients had complete data. The average age was 54.5 years. The mean duration of symptoms until MUA was 13 months. The mean DASH score decreased from 48.07 to 15.84 (p < 0.0005). The mean VAS reduced from 6.07 to 1.88 (p < 0.0005). Flexion improved from 104.18 to 157.56 (p < 0.0005); abduction from 70.48 to 150.00 (p < 0.0005); and external rotation from 13.88 to 45.62 (p < 0.0005).CONCLUSION:
MUA combined with early physiotherapy alleviates pain and facilitates recovery of function in patients with frozen shoulder syndrome.
