The Effect of Arthroscopic Extra-Articular Entire Coracohumeral Ligament Release for Patients with Recalcitrant Frozen Shoulder.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The thickened coracohumeral ligament (CHL) is an important part of the typical manifestations and magnetic resonance imaging of frozen shoulder. However, only a few clinical studies with limited cases on arthroscopic extra-articular entire CHL release exist in the literature. This study was to evaluate the effect of arthroscopic extra-articular entire CHL release for patients with recalcitrant frozen shoulder.

Methods

From February 2014 to February 2020, 81 cases of recalcitrant frozen shoulder patients treated with surgery in a single-center shoulder department and followed for more than 2 years were analyzed. Arthroscopic 360° capsular release was performed with intra-articular partial release (IPR group) or additional extra-articular entire release (IPR + EER gr
