Frozen Shoulder
“it comes on slowly; (with) pain usually felt near the insertion of the deltoid; inability to sleep on the affected side; painful and incomplete elevation and external rotation; restriction of both spasmodic and mildly adherent type; atrophy of the spinati; little local tenderness; (&) x-rays negative except for bone atrophy”.
Codman (1934)
![Page 11: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Frozen shoulder cont.
• Elusive underlying pathology• ?inflammatory ?scarring ?enzyme• Pain predominant or stiffness predominant
(Hanchard et al. 2011)• Primary (unknown cause)• Secondary (to trauma)• 2% population; 935 patients; 58% female• Dominant side 52%; bilateral 38% (Chambler et al. BMJ 2003)
![Page 12: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Frozen Shoulder
![Page 13: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Secondary frozen shoulder• Trauma• R.Cuff tear• Post –operatively• Diabetes• Cerebral haemorrhage• Thyroid• Autoimmune disease• Cervical spine pathology• Hormonal changes• Prolonged immobilisation• Algodystrophic
![Page 14: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stages of frozen shoulderFreezing Pain increases with movement and is often worse at night.
There is a progressive loss of ROM with increasing pain. Lasts approx. 2-9/12
FrozenPain begins to diminish, ROM much more limited (50%). Lasts
approx. 4-12/12
Thawing Condition may begin to resolve. Most patients experience a
gradual restoration of motion over next 12-42/12
![Page 15: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Clinical Picture
• Insidious onset• Pain at deltoid insertion• Night pain• Pain at rest• Reduced AROM and PROM• Reduced ER (restriction >50% of the opposite
side)• Normal x-rays
![Page 16: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Frozen shoulder x-rays
• NORMAL• To exclude:-1)Cuff arthropathy/massive cuff tear with
secondary OA changes2)OA – bony end feel, osteophytes limit ER3)Dislocation locked – stuck in IR causing avascular
necrosis to humeral headALL LIMIT ER, THEREFORE, TENTATIVE DIAGNOSIS
WITHOUT X-RAY
![Page 17: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Treatment
• Neglect? (better in 2 years)• Physiotherapy• Injection – improved shoulder related
disability @ 6/52 (Ryans et al. 2005)• MUA / arthroscopic release – significant loss
of ER not changing with rehabilitation @ 6-9 months
![Page 18: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Conservative management• Explanation• Modify activities• Analgesia• Physiotherapy?• Corticosteroid injection?• CONSIDER EARLY REFERRAL IF.......• Patients pain is particularly disabling to them• Severe restriction in PROM inhibiting function• Considering operative or specialist management
![Page 19: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Surgical management
• Symptoms and function are unchanging and significantly disabling after 6/12 of conservative treatment
• Arthroscopic release +/- SAD• ? MUA• ?hydrodilation• Suprascapular nerve block – improves pain but
not movement
![Page 20: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Impingement
• Up to 74% patients presenting in primary care SAIS
• Physiotherapy first line Rx• Roy et al. (2008)• Ostar (2005)
![Page 21: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Classification
• Primary (intrinsic)• Secondary (extrinsic)• Outlet / non-outlet• External / internal impingement
• Bursal side wear and tear not substantiated by histological studies – majority on articular side
![Page 22: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Impingement cont.
• Extrinsic theory challenged • Irritation causes tendonitis and bursitis?• “sub-acromial pain syndrome” pain related to
the bursa rather than the mechanical impingement effect. (Lewis 2011)
• Reactive tendonopathy to tendon disrepair and subsequent degeneration.
• Dysfunction of the r.cuff = bursitis and Sx
![Page 23: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Impingement
![Page 24: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Calcific Tendonitis
![Page 25: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Impingement
![Page 26: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Clinical Presentation
• Difficulty with over head activities• Pain mid range arc• Constant background ache / night pain /
increased pain on movement = ? Inflammation in bursa (only place to find inflammation in impingement)
![Page 27: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Painful Arc
![Page 28: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Diagnosis
• Impingement tests • Neers• Hawkins• Weakness in ER
• X-ray AP, axillary – spur formation, sclerosis, acromion type (>3/12 symptoms)
• U/S to confirm and exclude cuff tear
![Page 29: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Neers Test
![Page 30: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Hawkins Test
![Page 31: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Impingement Treatment
• Physiotherapy • NSAID’s? If constant pain• ?Injection – short term efficacy only and most
effective at 1-2/52 when constant pain (Trojian 2005)
• ?Poor outcome with surgery following repeated injections
• Conservative treatment minimum 8/52• Surgery SAD
![Page 32: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Rotator Cuff tears
• Almost all tears are chronic and degenerative in nature
• Often insidious history• Can occur after trauma or dislocations• Similar Sx to impingement• ? Clinically obvious weakness
![Page 33: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Rotator Cuff Tear
![Page 34: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Diagnosis • Drop arm test• Severe pain, profound weakness of abduction, or
an inability to maintain the arm in 90O abduction then slowly lower
• Positive infraspinatus testing (ER)• Pain that awakens the patient at night (Riddle
2001).• Tests may be better at ruling out cuff tears rather
then detecting them• ultrasound
![Page 35: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Rotator Cuff Tear
![Page 40: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Acute rotator cuff tear
• Patients presenting with a traumatic history, sudden or progressive weakness
• Urgent U/S and referral• Consider early repair • 6-12/52 window of opportunity for best
outcome from surgery
![Page 41: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Chronic symptomatic cuff tear
• ?non-operative management for 3-6/12• Advice / NSAID’s?/ physiotherapy• X1 steroid injection?• Failed non-operative management re-evaluation
consider U/S or MRI• Only need surgery if warranted by Sx• ?SAD for pain relief and to avoid the long rehab.
required for cuff repairs if the patient has – good movement, strength
![Page 42: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Full thickness cuff tears – non-operative management
• “tincture of time”• Physiotherapy• NSAID’s???• Modified activities• Steroid injection??• ? Can compensate due to activation of residual
intact cuff• Partial tear vs. Impingement ?does it matter as
doesn't change outcome/type of Rx
![Page 43: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
AC Joint Dysfunction
• Traumatic v degenerative onset• Traumatic onset is usually a fall on to the
point of the shoulder and can involve– Stretching or tearing of the acromioclavicular or
coracoacromial ligaments– Subluxation/dislocation of the AC joint• Degenerative problems tend to occur in
individuals over 45 years
![Page 44: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The ACJ
![Page 45: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Clinical Presentation
• Degenerative– Pain with activity and ?at rest over ACJ (may radiate in
to traps region but not deltoid)– ?ROM restricted in to overhead elevation– No obvious inflammatory signs
• Traumatic– Reports a traumatic onset– May be an observable deformity
• May also be associated with sub-acromial impingement
![Page 46: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Diagnosis
• Pain on palpation over ACJ• Pain on active adduction (Scarf test)• Pain on O’Brien’s
• X-ray may be used to exclude osteolysis/oes-acromially or to define degree of disruption in traumatic onset
![Page 47: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

O'Brien's Test
![Page 49: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Treatment
• Rockwood classification for traumatic disruption– Type I & II managed conservatively– Type III individual cases– Type IV – IV managed surgically
• Physiotherapy• ?injection therapy• Surgical options in degenerative cases if failed
conservative management
![Page 50: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Glenohumeral Instability
• Instability is the abnormal motion of the glenohumeral joint that may include subluxation or dislocation, co-existing laxity, pain
• Involves one or more (usually a combination) of ligaments, tendons, glenoid labrum, joint capsule
• Traumatic instability v atraumatic instability
![Page 51: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Clinical Presentation
• Tends to be in patients younger that 35• History of trauma or dislocation• “Give way” or “lock”• Repeatedly performing overhead movements
may aggravate symptoms (particularly with SLAP)
• Symptoms can be vague e.g young athletic males with activity related pains in shoulder or an inability to perform overhead throw
![Page 52: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Diagnosis
• Apprehension/relocation• Sulcus
• ?Xray in acute dislocation• MRI/MR arthrograms
![Page 53: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

![Page 54: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Relocation Test
![Page 55: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Sulcus Sign
![Page 56: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Treatment
• If first time dislocation in young population (<25 years) or high trauma injury referral on to specialist shoulder surgeon
• Recurrent dislocators• Physiotherapy would usually involve stability and
strengthening, proprioception and core stability with graduated return to activities
• Physiotherapy vital in both the conservatively and surgically managed cases though rehab period is likely to be lengthy (3-6/12)
![Page 57: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Labral Pathologies
• SLAP v Bankart• 85% of GH dislocations likely to have a
Bankart if needed to be relocated• SLAP – may be caused be any repeated
overhead activity, eccentric or concentric contraction of biceps. May be associated with a dislocation but more commonly in sportsmen with a pull on the arm, weightlifting, throwing injury or tackle
![Page 58: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Diagnosis
• Apprehension (Bankart and SLAP)• O’Brien’s (SLAP)• Biceps load I and II (SLAP)
• Difficult to diagnose clinically• MRI/MR arthrogram
![Page 61: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Treatment
• Surgical v conservative remains controversial• Physiotherapy• Onward referral if failing conservative
management/ return to high level sport or occupational factors
![Page 63: The Shoulder](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815985550346895dc6c449/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Evidence to Implicate the Cervical and Thoracic Spines in Shoulder Pain
• Cervical spine lateral glides (Vincenzino et al 2007, 2009)• McClatchie at al (2009) – increased GH abduction and
decreased pain intensity• C5/6 joint mobilisations increases strength of GH lateral
rotators immediately and for 10 mins (Wang 2010)• Thoracic segmental restriction impacts scapula position
and cuff activation – 40% of shoulder pain patients have thoracic and rib dysfunction (Lin et al, 2010)
• Physiotherapist’s conclusions….
