Shoulder and Clavicle Injuries

Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a common condition involving scapulohumeral pain and loss of motion. This condition was termed “peri-arthritis scapulohumerale” by Duplay in 1896. 36 Duplay S. De la periarthrite scapulohumerale. Rev Frat D Trav De Med. 1896; 53: 226 Google Scholar Codman, 29 Codman EA. The shoulder: rupture of the supraspinatus tendon and other lesions in or about the subacromial bursa. Boston, MA; Thomas Todd Co.; 1934. Google Scholar in 1934, characterized the diagnosis of “frozen shoulder” as a condition characterized by pain and reduced range of motion in the affected shoulder.

J Bone Joint Surg Am. 1945; 27: 211-222 Google Scholar in the pre-arthroscopic era, subsequently used the term “adhesive capsulitis” to describe the findings of chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the joint capsule, although arthroscopic examination would support the term “fibrotic capsulitis” with the absence of adhesions. The current consensus definition of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons is “a condition of uncertain etiology characterized by significant restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion that occurs in the absence of a known intrinsic shoulder disorder.” 69 Matsen FA, Fu FH, Hawkins RJ.
