Abstract
- Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint is a common disorder characterized by a gradual increase of pain and limitation in range of motion of the shoulder joint. The pathophysiological process involves fibrous inflammation of the capsule leading to capsular thickening and contracture. Intra-articular corticosteroid injection is commonly performed in patients with adhesive capsulitis. However, there is no consensus as to the best injection site. Corticosteroid injection sites for the treatment include posterior capsule approach, rotator interval approach, multi-site, and subacromial injection. All injection methods lead to improvement in adhesive capsulitis cases. In this review article, we provide an overview of current corticosteroid injection methods for adhesive capsulitis.
