Indications for hydrodilatation for frozen shoulder

Abstract

▪ Frozen shoulder causes significant functional disability and pain in a population group constituted by patients who are often middle-aged and working. ▪ Frozen shoulder remains poorly understood. The available literature is limited and often prone to bias. ▪ A rapid, non-surgical and cost-effective treatment that reduces pain and restores function is an attractive option. ▪ Hydrodilatation is a potential first-line treatment of frozen shoulder in secondary care.
