Advanced Treatment for Frozen Shoulder at Arthrosportzmed

Frozen shoulder (also called adhesive capsulitis) is a condition where the shoulder becomes painful, stiff, and difficult to move. The capsule around the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, severely limiting movement.

Common problems patients face:

  • Difficulty lifting the arm
  • Trouble combing hair or wearing clothes
  • Night pain and disturbed sleep
  • Gradual worsening stiffness despite exercises

While many cases improve with time and physiotherapy, some shoulders remain painfully stiff for months or years.

What Is Arthroscopic Capsular Release?

Arthroscopic capsular release is a minimally invasive keyhole surgery done to treat resistant frozen shoulder.

Using a small camera (arthroscope) and fine instruments through tiny incisions, the tight and thickened shoulder capsule is precisely released, allowing the shoulder to move freely again.

What is done during surgery:

  • Tight portions of the shoulder capsule are carefully cut
  • Adhesions (scar tissue) are released
  • Normal joint space and movement are restored
  • The procedure is highly controlled and precise

Benefits of Arthroscopic Capsular Release

  • Immediate improvement in shoulder movement
  • Significant pain relief
  • Minimally invasive with very small scars
  • Faster recovery compared to prolonged conservative care
  • Allows early and effective physiotherapy

Many patients notice dramatic improvement in motion within days of surgery.

Who Needs Arthroscopic Capsular Release?

This procedure is recommended when:

  • Frozen shoulder does not improve after months of physiotherapy
  • Pain and stiffness severely limit daily activities
  • Diabetes-associated frozen shoulder is resistant to treatment
  • Shoulder stiffness persists after surgery or injury
  • There is severe restriction of both active and passive movement

Recovery After Surgery

Recovery depends heavily on early and guided physiotherapy.

What to expect:

  • Sling for comfort for a short period
  • Shoulder movements started early (often the same day or next day)
  • Regular physiotherapy to maintain gained motion
  • Gradual strengthening exercises

Expected recovery:

  • Pain relief: Early
  • Range of motion improvement: Rapid
  • Functional recovery: 6–12 weeks

Commitment to physiotherapy is key for long-term success.
