Peri arthritis shoulder or Frozen shoulder is the same entity. In Frozen shoulder the bone - joint is actually not affected. The surrounding tissue of the shoulder joint is involved. Peri- surrounding,Ortho - joint, itis- inflammation.
The name is derived from this meaning. The surrounding muscles get inflamed and get tough causing pain with restriction of shoulder joint movements . There is no specific reason for this to occur. This commonly happens in middle age adults/ diabetics and in people who sustained blunt injuries etc.
TREATMENT: Traditionally the regular practice is to start on analgesics with physiotherapy but often this condition will not subside. Then we advise the patient to go for shoulder mobilization under General anaesthesia.
For this procedure patient has to come on empty stomach and following the procedure patient has to stay for 2-3 hours in observation room beside the operation Theater and then go home.
ADVANTAGE WITH INJECTION THERAPY:
Patient can come to clinic, empty stomach is not required as this is only injection procedure.
It’s only Consultation Room procedure. Only one injection, takes about 5 minutes to get back full Range of movements. And patient can immediately go back following the procedure .
Patient will be sent only after gaining full range of movements with absolute satisfaction and will make the patient do some exercises/ demonstration will be done and will advise the patient to do the same at home for few weeks as required. This is only to be sure about avoiding recurrence. Results are at times different from patient to patient.
So far we have not seen any patient coming with recurrence.
