Adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, is a common condition causing shoulder pain and stiffness due to joint capsule fibrosis. Many cases may go undiagnosed as they can be mild and self-limiting.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rheumatology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Adhesive capsulitis, commonly termed frozen shoulder, affects 2-5% of the population.
  • The condition involves progressive fibrosis of the glenohumeral joint capsule.
  • It leads to significant limitations in shoulder range of motion and pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the pathology and incidence of adhesive capsulitis.
  • To highlight the clinical presentation of frozen shoulder.
  • To discuss the implications of underdiagnosis in mild, self-limited cases.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on adhesive capsulitis.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data regarding frozen shoulder incidence.
  • Pathological description of glenohumeral joint fibrosis.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • Adhesive capsulitis is characterized by gradual joint capsule fibrosis.
  • Limited active and passive range of motion are key clinical findings.
  • Actual incidence may exceed reported figures due to mild, self-resolving cases.

Conclusions:

  • Adhesive capsulitis is a prevalent condition with potential for underdiagnosis.
  • Understanding the pathology is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • Further research may be needed to capture the full scope of frozen shoulder prevalence.
