Dynamic Ultrasonographic Measurement of Inferior Joint Capsule Thickness in Patients with Unilateral Frozen Shoulder [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2021 The diagnostic value of ultrasonography (US) for frozen shoulder (FS) is not well established. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of US measurement of inferior joint capsule (IJC) thickness and evaluate changes in the thickness of the IJC by

Extreme capsule is a bottleneck for ventral pathway [PDF]
IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2021 As neuroscience literature suggests, extreme capsule is considered a whiter matter tract. Nevertheless, it is not clear whether extreme capsule itself is an association fiber pathway or only a bottleneck for other association fibers to pass.

Quantitative MRI Evaluation of Coracohumeral Ligament and Inferior Glenohumeral Capsule Thickening in Adhesive Capsulitis: Correlation with Range of Motion and Edema Patterns [PDF]
Eurasian Journal of MedicineBackground: Adhesive capsulitis involves capsular fibrosis and restricted shoulder movements, particularly external rotation and abduction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables assessment of capsular and ligamentous thickening.

Capsule-Preserving Approach to Arthroscopic Decompression of the Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine [PDF]
Arthroscopy Techniques, 2021 Hip arthroscopy techniques have evolved to treat a wide range of extra-articular pathologies. Subspine impingement commonly occurs in femoroacetabular impingement, particularly in athletes with a high range of motion, patients with low degrees of femoral

Effectiveness of sustained stretching of the inferior capsule in the management of a frozen shoulder. [PDF]
Clin Orthop Relat Res, 2014 Physiotherapy treatment of frozen shoulder is varied, but most lack specific focus on the underlying disorder, which is the adhered shoulder capsule. Although positive effects were found after physiotherapy, the recurrence and prolonged disability of a frozen shoulder are major factors to focus on to provide the appropriate treatment.We wished to study

Focal uptake at the rotator interval or inferior capsule of shoulder on 18F-FDG PET/CT is associated with adhesive capsulitis. [PDF]
Skeletal Radiol, 2017 To determine if focal increased uptake at the rotator interval (RI) and/or inferior capsule (IC) on18F-FDG PET/CT ("positive PET") predicts the presence of adhesive capsulitis (AC).Three populations were retrospectively examined. Group 1 included 1,137 consecutive 18F-FDG PET/CT studies and was used to determine the prevalence of focal uptake at the RI

Letter to the editor: Effectiveness of sustained stretching of the inferior capsule in the management of a frozen shoulder. [PDF]
Clin Orthop Relat Res, 2014 To the editor, We have read the article by Paul and colleagues [5] with great interest. The authors concluded that the use of a countertraction apparatus had a positive effect on improvement of shoulder function in patients with a frozen shoulder. We have some comments on this study and think that the conclusions of this article should be seen in ...

Three-dimensional comparative strain analysis of the capsuloligamentous complex during passive glenohumeral motion [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and ResearchBackground Understanding the three-dimensional biomechanical behavior of the capsuloligamentous complex, considering it as a single sheet of fibrous tissue, is beneficial for assessing patients with limited glenohumeral range of motion in vivo.

Reply to the letter to the editor: effectiveness of sustained stretching of the inferior capsule in the management of a frozen shoulder. [PDF]
Clin Orthop Relat Res, 2014 To the editor, We appreciate the interest by Kraal and colleagues regarding our study, and offer our responses to his major queries. Kraal et al. were curious as to why we did not define the amount of restriction on the frozen shoulder, nor report the direction of the limitation. The restriction in range or direction was not a limiting factor for

Inferior glenohumeral joint capsule thickness in frozen shoulder via ultrasonography
JSES InternationalThe thickening of the inferior glenohumeral joint capsule (IGC) is a characteristic finding in frozen shoulders. However, the relationship between the thickness of the IGC measured using ultrasonography (US) and the range of motion (ROM) remains unclear.
