Frozen shoulder syndrome. A comparison of hydraulic distension and manipulation.
Thirty-two patients, who had frozen shoulders which had not improved with physiotherapy, were treated by manipulation under general anaesthesia or by steroid injection and hydraulic distension under local anaesthesia. Distension is recommended as it is easy to carry out and gave better results than manipulation.
