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:
- 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.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. [3][4][2][5][6]
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.[7]
- 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. [8]
- 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] [9] [10]
- 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.[11][12] [13][8]
- On gross pathology, inflammation, congestion, fibrosis of capsule are characteristic findings of adhesive capsulitis.[8]
- On microscopic histopathological analysis, cellular infiltration with accumulation of macrophages, T and B cells, mast cells are characteristic findings of adhesive capsulitis.[8]
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.
