Abstract

Adhesive capsulitis, colloquially known as "frozen shoulder," is a relatively common disorder, affecting approximately 2% to 5% of the general population. The incidence may be higher as the condition can be relatively mild and self-limited and thus many patients who experience it may never present for treatment. It involves a pathologic process of gradual fibrosis of the glenohumeral joint that leads to limited active and passive range of motion, contracture of the joint capsule, and shoulder pain.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors have nothing to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
