title: Shoulder distension arthrography in adhesive capsulitis.
abstract: Capsular retraction of the shoulder often occurs as a solitary pathological process; half of the cases are of primitive nature. In the past 10 years or more, distension of the shoulder joint has proven to be an efficient percutaneous treatment, and various techniques have been proposed. We report on our technique, which was performed on a series of 200 patients, and on the results observed in 27 patients with a precise evaluation of progressive changes in movements of the joint.
