title: Treatment of adhesive capsulitis: a review.
abstract: Adhesive capsulitis is a condition "difficult to define, difficult to treat and difficult to explain from the point of view of pathology". This Codman's assertion is still actual because of a variable nomenclature, an inconsistent reporting of disease staging and many types of treatment. There is no consensus on how the best way best to manage patients with this condition, so we want to provide an evidence-based overview regarding the effectiveness of conservative and surgical interventions to treat adhesive capsulitis.
