OE Journal. 2013;1(12):181 Int Orthop. 2012 Jan;36(1):101-6. Epub 2011 Aug 1144 patients with stage II shoulder adhesive capsulitis were randomized to receive either manipulation with arthroscopic arthrolysis or intra-articular steroid injection. The results from final follow-up analysis indicate that both treatments provide significant improvements in shoulder range of motion and in all clinical scores when compared to baseline measures. These improvements were identified at 6 weeks in the manipulation group and at 12 weeks in the steroid injection group.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Outcome Assessors: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

Der Fragilitätsindex ist ein Instrument, das bei der Interpretation signifikanter Ergebnisse hilft und ein Maß für die Stärke eines Ergebnisses liefert. Der Fragilitätsindex gibt die Anzahl der aufeinanderfolgenden Ereignisse an, die zu einem dichotomen Ergebnis hinzugefügt werden müssen, damit das Ergebnis nicht mehr signifikant ist. Eine kleine Zahl steht für ein schwächeres Ergebnis und eine große Zahl für ein stärkeres Ergebnis.
Warum wurde diese Studie jetzt benötigt?
Shoulder adhesive capsulitis is a painful condition that significantly limits the range of motion at the shoulder. The natural progression of this condition is broken down in to three phases: the painful phase, the frozen phase and the thawing phase. Combined, the progression can last between 12-48 months. Management consists primarily of pain relief and improvement in range of motion. Operative techniques, such as manipulation and arthroscopic, release provided significant improvements for both of these outcomes. This study aimed to identify if a less invasive intra-articular steroid injection provided similar results, as this operative technique.
Was war die wichtigste Forschungsfrage?
Does shoulder manipulation and arthroscopic arthrolysis provide similar outcomes, when compared to glenohumeral steroid injections in patients with idiopathic adhesive shoulder capsulitis?
- Range of motion increased significantly in both groups: in group A, ABD improved from 60-154, ER from 20 to 40, FF from 75 to 174, and IR improved as well (p<0.05 for all). In group B, ABD improved from 76 to 145, ER from 20 to 35 and FF from 115 to 164, IR also improved (p<0.05).
- Patients in group A reached these significant improvements at 6 week, whereas group B did not demonstrate these improvements until week 12 (p<0.03).
- Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in all scales examined.
- All improvements were present at final 12 month follow-up .
Was sollte ich mir besonders merken?
Both glenohumeral steroid injection and manipulation with arthroscopic arthrolysis provided significant improvements in clinical test scores and range of motion, in patients suffering from shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Shoulder manipulation and arthroscopic arthrolysis provided improvements 6 weeks earlier than steroid injection.
Wie wird sich dies auf die Behandlung meiner Patienten auswirken?
This study demonstrates that both treatments provided comparable results, and although steroid injection requires long to provide benefits, it should be considered as a management option.
