Summary

Frozen shoulder is a common disease which causes significant morbidity. Arthroscopic capsular release has become increasingly commonplace，the treatment of frozhen shoulder with local analgesic influsion equipment after arthroscopic capsular release is the most effective.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to observe the clinical efficacies of local analgesic influsion equipment after arthroscopic capsular release in treating frozen shoulder．

Methods

84 patients suffered from frozen shoulder were randomly divided into two groups from February 2012 to July 2014， Group one was treated with local analgesic influsion equipment， another group was not treated with it． both groups received arthroscopic capsular release， The mean duration of follow－up was 11．2 months after operation．The range of shoulder motion ， VAS and ASES scores were recorded before the operation and one week， one month， three months after the operation．

Results

All patients were involved， the range of shoulder motion， VAS and ASES scores improved significantly after operation（P ＜ 0．05）． The differences of the range shoulder motion， ASES score after operation，the patients with local analgesic equipment improved significantly （P ＜ 0．05），but there were no significant difference of VAS scores between two groups at 3months after operation （P ＞ 0．05）．

Conclusion

Local analgesic equipment after arthroscopic capsular release could alleviate the pain of patients with frozen shoulder earlier and more effectively， promote recovery quickly， achieve expected effects．
