Frozen Shoulder Release (Keyhole)
Frozen shoulder release is a minimally invasive procedure where small incisions are made to insert tiny instruments that cut tight tissues in the shoulder. This helps to free up movement and reduce pain caused by a frozen shoulder.
Medication
NSAIDs, pain relievers, and anti-inflammatory drugs are used to manage pain and inflammation associated with frozen shoulder. These medications help to reduce swelling and discomfort, making it easier for patients to perform physical therapy exercises and carry out daily activities.
Steroid Injections
Corticosteroid injections are administered directly into the shoulder joint to reduce inflammation and pain. These injections are particularly useful in the early stages of frozen shoulder to decrease inflammation, which can help improve shoulder mobility and facilitate participation in physical therapy.
Hydrodilatation
Hydrodilatation, also known as distension arthrography, involves injecting a large volume of sterile fluid, typically saline mixed with a local anesthetic, into the shoulder joint. This procedure expands and stretches the joint capsule, helping to break up adhesions and increase the range of motion. It is used when more conservative treatments, like physical therapy and medications, do not provide sufficient relief.

Frequently asked questions
When Should I Visit an Orthopaedic Shoulder Specialist for Frozen Shoulder?
You should consider visiting an orthopaedic shoulder specialist if you experience any of the following symptoms related to frozen shoulder:
- Persistent Shoulder Pain: If shoulder pain has lasted for several weeks and isn’t improving with rest or over-the-counter treatments, it’s time to seek professional advice.
- Stiffness and Limited Mobility: If you’re having difficulty lifting, rotating, or moving your shoulder, especially if the stiffness worsens over time, it’s important to consult a specialist to prevent further restriction of movement.
- Gradual Loss of Shoulder Function: If your shoulder movement is becoming increasingly restricted and affecting daily activities, this could be a sign of frozen shoulder that requires medical evaluation.
Do I Need Surgery for Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder can often be treated with non-surgical methods, such as physical therapy, medication, or corticosteroid injections. However, if these options fail to improve your mobility and reduce pain, your orthopaedic shoulder specialist may consider surgery as a last resort to restore movement.
If your symptoms have persisted or worsened, seeking medical attention promptly is highly recommended to avoid further complications.
What Can I Expect During My Initial Consultation for Frozen Shoulder?
During your initial consultation with an orthopaedic shoulder surgeon, you can expect:
- Discussion of Symptoms: The surgeon will ask about your shoulder stiffness, pain levels, and how these symptoms are impacting your ability to perform daily activities.
- Physical Examination: The surgeon will evaluate your shoulder’s range of motion and strength, and check for any signs of tenderness or stiffness.
- Medical History Review: You’ll discuss your medical history, including any previous shoulder conditions, injuries, or surgeries, as well as any medications you are currently taking.
- Diagnostic Tests: The surgeon may recommend imaging tests such as X-rays or an MRI to assess the severity of your frozen shoulder. These tests may be scheduled for a follow-up visit to guide the treatment plan.
- Treatment Options: Your surgeon will discuss potential treatment options, which may include non-surgical therapies like physical therapy or injections. A more detailed plan will be formed after reviewing the results of diagnostic tests.
