Loss of Scapulohumeral Motion (Frozen Shoulder)

Loss of Scapulohumeral Motion (Frozen Shoulder):

"Summary and Conclusions

* Frozen shoulder is a clinical entity which is produced by muscular inactivity of the shoulder in individuals past 40 years of age.
* Bicipital tenosynovitis is the most common etiologic factor producing muscular inactivity. (It initiated the syndrome in 42.1 per cent of the cases in this series).
* Pain is the outstanding clinical feature of frozen shoulder; once pain is eliminated restoration of function can begin.
* Conservative measures in early cases may abort the syndrome.
* In late cases transplantation of the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle to the coracoid process will eliminate the pain factor and permit painless motion in the shoulder.
* In this series optimum restoration of function was obtained in eight to 22 weeks."
