What is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen Shoulder, also known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is a condition characterized by pain, stiffness, and restricted movement in the shoulder joint. It occurs when the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, leading to progressive loss of motion. This condition can severely affect daily activities, making simple movements like reaching overhead or behind the back extremely difficult.

Dr. Shekhar Srivastav, a renowned orthopedic specialist in Delhi, offers Frozen Shoulder Release Surgery, a highly effective treatment for patients who do not respond to non-surgical treatments like physiotherapy, medications, or injections.

What is Frozen Shoulder Release?

Frozen Shoulder Release is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that helps restore shoulder mobility by releasing the tightened shoulder capsule. The procedure is performed using either:

• Arthroscopic Capsular Release – A keyhole surgery where small instruments are used to cut and release the tightened capsule.
• Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) – The shoulder is gently moved under anesthesia to break adhesions and improve mobility.

Who Needs Frozen Shoulder Release?

This procedure is recommended for individuals who:

• Experience severe shoulder stiffness and pain affecting daily activities.
• Have failed to improve with medications, physical therapy, or steroid injections.
• Have chronic or advanced-stage frozen shoulder with significant movement restriction.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• Anesthesia – General or regional anesthesia is given for a pain-free procedure.
• Arthroscopic Capsular Release – Small incisions are made, and a camera (arthroscope) is inserted to visualize and cut the tightened capsule.
• Manipulation Under Anesthesia (if required) – Gentle stretching of the shoulder is performed.
• Closure and Recovery – The incisions are closed, and early rehabilitation begins to restore motion.
