Range of motion and arthrography in the frozen shoulder

摘要: The relationship between the range of motion and arthrographic measurements were assessed in 91 patients with frozen shoulders. Range was recorded flexion, abduction, external rotation, internal rotation. On arthrogram following parameters measured: depth axillary pouch, width anterior ballooning, extent subscapularis bursa, filling biceps tendon sheath, irregularity capsular outline anteroposterior view. Both bursa sheath also scapular Y There mild correlations rotation ballooning but coefficient determination (r-square) each correlation small. No significant observed flexion or abduction any measurements. Although these findings are characteristic to shoulders, none them is a good predictor severity restricted motion.
