Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of intra-articular hydraulic distension (IHD) for the treatment of painful stiff shoulders between capsule-rupturing and capsule-preserving IHDs.

Conditions

  • Adhesive Capsulitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Capsule-Preserving Intra-articular Hydraulic Distension

Capsule-Preserving Intra-articular Hydraulic Distension (CPIHD) infuses as much volume as possible during the distension without rupturing the capsule.

PROCEDURE

Capsule-Rupturing Intra-articular Hydraulic Distension

Capsule-Rupturing Intra-articular Hydraulic Distension (CRIHD) infuses fluid into the joint space until the rupture of the capsule is observed.
