Clinical Effect of Manual Release Combined with Arthroscopic Technique Under Anesthesia in Treatment of Frozen Shoulder Combined with Rotator Cuff Injury
Objective To explore clinical effect of manual release combined with arthroscopic technique under anesthesia in treatment of frozen shoulder combined with rotator cuff injury.Methods The paper reviewed and analyzed data of 25 patients with frozen shoulder combined with rotator cuff injury from January 2017 and December 2021,treated with arthroscopic joint capsule release surgery combined with rotator cuff repair surgery after manual release under anesthesia.Shoulder joint pain,functional scores,and range of motion of patients at 3,6,and 12 months were evaluated after surgery and at the last follow-up.Main outcome measures:Visual Analog Scale(VAS)of pains,Constant Murley scores,American Shoulder and Elbow Surgery(ASES)scores,and shoulder joint range of motion.Results All patients were treated with at least one year of follow-up.At the last follow-up,shoulder joint pain,functional scores and range of motion were significantly better than before sugery,with statistically significant difference(P<0.01).Conclusion Combination of manual release under anesthesia and arthroscopic technique can achieve fast recovery and long-lasting good mobility for frozen shoulder combined with rotator cuff injury.
