Treatment regimens for frozen shoulder vary. These include joint distension which is performed in conjunction with the arthrography of the shoulder. Distension arthrography was performed in 19 cases from April 1997 to March 1998, of which nine cases (4 men, 5 women) were available for this study. One case underwent surgical manipulation after joint distension. One case was admitted for surgery but joint distension on the day of admission was so effective that she discharged without surgery. The average JOA score was 55.4 before this procedure and 84.1 at the time of follow-up. As the treatment for frozen shoulder, we recommend this procedure before surgery.
