Overview
Adhesive capsulitis is an inflammatory insult to glenohumeral joint limiting active and passive range of motion due to pain and stiffness of shoulder joint. The active and passive range of motion is debilitated due to inflammation and fibrosis of adhesive bursa due to primary and secondary causes.
Historical Perspective
- Adhesive capsulitis was first discovered by Simon Emmanuel Duplay, a French surgeon, in 1872 who introduced the term 'scapulohumeral periarthritis' to identify painful shoulder with normal preservation of imaging findings. In 1934 Earnest Codman termed it as Frozen Shoulder' as there was loss of range of motion at shoulder joint. Later in 1945, due to the involvement of inflammation of capsule leading to fibrosis of bursa was elaborated by Julius Neviaser, he named it 'Adhesive capsulitis'.[1][2]
Classification
- Adhesive Capsulitis may be classified according to etiology into two groups:
- Primary or Idiopathic:
- Adhesive capsulitis can occur spontaneously without concurrent shoulder joint abnormality or inciting factors
- Secondary:
Pathophysiology
- The pathogenesis of adhesive capsulitis is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis which is elaborated several pathways mentioned below.
- In the beginning it was thought myofibroblasts are playing role in fibrotic pathway. low levels of metalloproteinases (MMPs) like MMP-14, MMP-1, MMP-2 and increased expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) for instances TIMP-1, TIMP-2 resulting in ECM imbalances and fibrosis.[5]
- Inflammatory process involving IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, TNF- alpha, COX-1 and COX-2 leading to accumulation of macrophages, T and B cells, mast cells are recently thought to have role adhesive capsulitis. [6]
- Molecules like ICAM-1, SNP(single- peptide polymorphism of Interleukin-6), metalloproteinases-3, IGF-2, Beta catenin are involved in genetic association with adhesive capsulitis.[1] [7] [8]
- In recent studies the intolerable pain of adhesive capsulitis is explained by the involvement of nerve invasion by nerve growth factor receptor p75. VEGF, MAPK(mitogen-activated protein kinases)/ENK pathway and MAPK/JNK, Beta-1 integrin(CD19), CD34,PGP9.5(Protein gene product 9.5), GAP43(growth associated protein 43), NF-kB, TGF- beta are elevated in pathogenesis in Adhesive capsulitis.[9][10] [11][6]
- On gross pathology, inflammation, congestion, fibrosis of capsule are characteristic findings of adhesive capsulitis.[6]
- On microscopic histopathological analysis, cellular infiltration with accumulation of macrophages, T and B cells, mast cells are characteristic findings of adhesive capsulitis.[6]
Causes
Adhesive Capsulitis may be caused by primarily or Secondarily. Diabetes Mellitus is most common cause of adhesive capsulitis among the secondary cause. The etiologies are:
- Primary or Idiopathic:
- Adhesive capsulitis can occur spontaneously without concurrent shoulder joint abnormality or inciting factors
- Secondary:
- Adhesive capsulitis can present due to preexistent shoulder joint dysfunction for instances glenohumeral joint dislocation with fracture of periarticular region, joint trauma, arthroscopic surgery to shoulder joint, arthroplasty or rotator cuff injury repair. [3][4] Systemic illnesses are associated in causing secondary adhesive capsulitis, plays greater role than preexisting joint dysfunction. Diabetes mellitus is the most common secondary cause, other than this dysfunctional thyroid gland, adrenal insufficiency, fibromatosis resulting in dupuytren's contracture, cerebrovascular attack, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, parkinson's disease, surgery to neck/brain/heart may predispose adhesive capsulitis.

Epidemiology and Demographics
It has an incidence of 2,400 out of every 100,000 patients per year.[12]
Risk Factors
Most of the time there is no cause for frozen shoulder. Risk factors include:
- Cervical disk disease of the neck
- Diabetes
- Shoulder injury
- Shoulder surgery
- Open heart surgery
- Thyroid problems
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Complications
- Stiffness and pain continue even with therapy.
- The arm can break if the shoulder is moved forcefully during surgery.
Prognosis
Treatment with physical therapy and NSAIDs will usually restore motion and function of the shoulder within a year. Even untreated, the shoulder can get better by itself in 24 months.
After surgery restores motion, you must continue physical therapy for several weeks or months to prevent the frozen shoulder from returning. Treatment may fail if you cannot keep up with physical therapy.
Diagnosis
History and Symptoms
Movement of the shoulder is severely restricted. The condition is sometimes caused by injury that leads to lack of use due to pain but also often arises spontaneously with no obvious preceding trigger factor. These seemingly spontaneous cases are usually referred to as Idiopathic Frozen Shoulder. Rheumatic disease progression and recent shoulder surgery can also cause a pattern of pain and limititation similar to frozen shoulder. Intermittent periods of use may cause inflammation.
Abnormal bands of tissue (adhesions) grow between the joint surfaces, restricting motion. There is also a lack of synovial fluid, which normally helps the shoulder joint move by lubricating the gap between the humerus (upper arm bone) and the socket in the scapula (shoulder blade). It is this restricted space between the capsule and ball of the humerus that distinguishes adhesive capsulitis from a less complicated, painful, stiff shoulder. People with diabetes, stroke, lung disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and heart disease, or who have been in an accident, are at a higher risk for frozen shoulder. Adhesive capsulitis has been indicated as a possible adverse effect of some forms of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The condition rarely appears in people under 40 years old and (at least in its idiopathic form) is much more common in women than in men (70% of patients are women aged 40-60). Frozen shoulder in diabetic patients is generally thought to be a more troublesome condition than in the non-diabetic population. [13] If a diabetic patient develops frozen shoulder then the time to full recovery is often prolonged from the usual 12 month period.
Physical Examination
With a frozen shoulder, one sign is that the joint becomes so tight and stiff that it is nearly impossible to carry out simple movements, such as raising the arm. People complain that the stiffness and pain worsen at night. Pain due to frozen shoulder is usually dull or aching. It can be worsened with attempted motion. A doctor, or therapist (occupational, massage or physical), may suspect the patient has a frozen shoulder if a physical examination reveals limited shoulder movement. Frozen shoulder can also be diagnosed if limits to the active range of motion (range of motion from active use of muscles) are the same or almost the same as the limits to the passive range of motion (range of motion from a person manipulating the arm and shoulder).
Physicians have described the normal course of a frozen shoulder as having three stages:[14]
- Stage one: In the "freezing" or painful stage, which may last from six weeks to nine months, the patient has a slow onset of pain. As the pain worsens, the shoulder loses motion.
- Stage two: The "frozen" or adhesive stage is marked by a slow improvement in pain, but the stiffness remains. This stage generally lasts four months to nine months.
- Stage three: The "thawing" or recovery, during which shoulder motion slowly returns toward normal. This generally lasts five months to 26 months.
MRI
An arthrogram or an MRI scan may confirm the diagnosis - although in practice this is rarely required. Most orthopedic specialists make the diagnosis of frozen shoulder by recognizing the typical pattern of signs and symptoms.
Shown below are MRI images from a patient with adhesive capsulitis.
Treatment
Medical Therapy
Management of this disorder focuses on restoring joint movement and reducing shoulder pain. Usually, it begins with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the application of heat, followed by gentle stretching exercises. These stretching exercises, which may be performed in the home with the help of a physical, massage or occupational therapist, are the treatment of choice. In some cases, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) with a small battery-operated unit may be used to reduce pain by blocking nerve impulses. The next step often involves one or a series of steroid injections (up to six).
If these measures are unsuccessful, the doctor may recommend manipulation of the shoulder under general anesthesia to break up the adhesions. Surgery to cut the adhesions is only necessary in some cases.
Alternative medicine treatments include:
- Accupuncture for pain
- Holistic procedures such as the Bowen Technique
Primary Prevention
To prevent the problem, a common recommendation is to keep the shoulder joint fully moving to prevent a frozen shoulder. Often a shoulder will hurt when it begins to freeze. Because pain discourages movement, further development of adhesions that restrict movement will occur unless the joint continues to move full range in all directions (adduction, abduction, flexion, rotation, and extension). Therapy will help one continue movement to discourage freezing and warm it. A medical doctor referral is needed before occupational or physical therapy can begin under law in most US states. Medical referral is not required for physical or occupational therapy in most Canadian provinces.
