Comparative outcome of ultrasound guided vs. fluoroscopy guided hydrodilatation in adhesive capsulitis: a prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of adhesive capsulitis varies from 2-5% in the general population to 20% in people with diabetes. One of the most effective treatment methods is hydrodilatation, which can be done under US-guidance or Fluoroscopic guidance. However, the clinical effectiveness of US-guided injections in comparison to fluoroscopy-guided injections is still debatable. The possibility of severe side effects, the expense, and the time required to carry out this minimally invasive procedure highlight how crucial it is for patients to have a precise intra-articular injection. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Ultrasound-guided vs. Fluoroscopic guided hydrodilatation for patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Methods

Sixty-four patients were randomly selected for h
