Humeral head erosions can be present in frozen shoulder cases, but they do not worsen the patient's outcome. It is important to differentiate true erosions from imaging artifacts on X-rays.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic imaging
  • Radiology of musculoskeletal disorders

Background:

  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a common condition characterized by shoulder stiffness and pain.
  • Radiographic findings in frozen shoulder can include osteopenia and humeral head erosions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the occurrence of humeral head erosions in frozen shoulder.
  • To differentiate true erosions from projectional artifacts.
  • To assess the prognostic significance of humeral head erosions in frozen shoulder.

Main Methods:

  • Review of shoulder radiographs in patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder.
  • Comparison of imaging features to differentiate true erosions from artifacts.
  • Correlation of erosion presence with clinical outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Humeral head erosions are observed in a subset of frozen shoulder patients.
  • Distinguishing true erosions from projectional artifacts is crucial for accurate interpretation.
  • The presence of humeral head erosions does not negatively impact the prognosis of frozen shoulder.

Conclusions:

  • Humeral head erosions can be a feature of frozen shoulder.
  • Radiographic interpretation must exclude artifacts to identify true erosions.
  • Erosions do not alter the overall prognosis for patients with frozen shoulder.
