Translational manipulation under anesthesia for patients with frozen shoulder: a case series study with five-year health care utilization and post-manipulative arthroscopic findings.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

Case series study.

Objectives

Although there have been no reported complications from translational manipulation under anesthesia (tMUA) for individuals with adhesive capsulitis (AC) there are no cases reporting surgical findings post tMUA. Also, there are no studies evaluating health care utilization following tMUA. The purpose of this study was to: (1) report clinical outcomes following tMUA, (2) describe relevant health care costs and utilization following tMUA, and (3) summarize findings from two cases receiving joint arthroscopy following tMUA.

Methods

Fourteen Individuals with AC underwent tMUA. Range of motion (ROM) and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) values were collected at baseline and six weeks follow-up. Shoulder-related health care
