Influence of demographic and pathological factors on the clinical course and outcomes of the arthroscopic frozen shoulder 360° release.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frozen shoulder (FS) is an inflammatory condition that affects the shoulder capsule and can cause significant pain and stiffness. The arthroscopic FS 360° release is indicated in patients with global active range of motion (AROM) limitation. The aim of this study is to determine whether various patient demographic and pathological variables influence patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following a complete capsule resection. The variables of interest include patient comorbidity status, conservative therapy prior to surgery, and time from symptom onset to surgical treatment.

Methods

An observational prospective cohort study was conducted assessing PROMs and AROM in patients undergoing the 360° arthroscopic release between July 2013 and January 2019. AROM and
