    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Rheumatology
    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Frozen Shoulder (FS), also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a clinical term describing shoulder pain and stiffness.
    • It is often referred to by various names including periarthritis, pericapsulitis, and obliterative bursitis.
    • The precise pathology and natural history of FS remain incompletely understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically review the current state of knowledge regarding Frozen Shoulder (adhesive capsulitis).
    • To analyze the pathogenetic inferences associated with the clinical description of FS.
    • To provide a comprehensive overview of the disorder.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing studies on Frozen Shoulder.
    • Critical analysis of pathogenetic theories and clinical descriptions.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Synthesis of current knowledge on pathology and natural history.

    • Main Results:

    • The term Frozen Shoulder is a colloquialism, not a formal diagnosis.
    • Multiple designations exist, reflecting varied pathogenetic interpretations.
    • A limited understanding of FS pathology and natural history is evident.

    Conclusions:

    • Adhesive capsulitis requires further research to clarify its underlying pathology and natural course.
    • The wide array of advocated treatments highlights the need for a more unified understanding.
    • A critical evaluation of current knowledge is essential for advancing treatment strategies.
