Adhesive capsulitis of the hip after bilateral adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.
Adhesive capsulitis of the hip is a not a common clinical presentation. We report a case of adhesive capsulitis of the hip in a patient with hypothyroidism and previous adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder who was receiving thyroid-hormone replacement. The adhesive capsulitis of both hip and shoulder were treated successfully with physical therapy. Orthopedic surgeons should be aware of this diagnosis and its association with shoulder adhesive capsulitis and thyroid dysfunction, to allow them to recognize it and intervene early.
