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.

Spontaneous rupture of the tendon during long-term systemic administration of steroids is rare and it is found only sporadically at the Achilles tendon.We report two cases of spontaneous rupture of the tendon during long-term systemic steroid therapy.One of the patients who was administered steroids for systemic lupus erythematosus developed rupture of the Achilles tendon, and the other treated for polyneuritis showed rupture of the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle.These two cases are considered to show that rupture of the tendon occurred due to degeneration and weakness of tendon tissue during long-term systemic steroid therapy.
