Abstract
Introduction/Background The aims of this study were to compare
the ultrasonographic (US) thickness of the affected axillary recess
capsule (ARC) with that of the unaffected ARC in patients with
frozen shoulder (FS), to analyze whether the US measurements
of the ARC thickness are correlated with those using MR imaging
(MRI), and to assess whether the US thickness of the ARC is
correlated with the patterns of range of motion limitation.
Material and method Forty-four patients with clinically diagnosed
unilateral frozen shoulder and MRI evaluation performed
US measurement of ARC. The US measurement of the ARC thickness
was performed with the patients in a supine position with
their shoulder abducted by 40 degrees. The ARC thickness was also
measured by MRI on oblique coronal images by another physician
blind to US measurements. With both US and MRI, ARC thickness
was determined at the widest portion of the capsule (Fig. 1).
Results The US thickness of ARC was significantly higher in
the affected shoulder (4.4±1.1mm) than in the unaffected one
(2.2±0.5mm) (P < 0.001) (Fig. 2).
The US thickness of the ARC in the affected shoulder was correlated
with that measured by MRI (8.9±1.9mm) (P < 0.001, r = 0.83).
The ARC thickness, whether measured by US or MRI, was not
significantly related with the limitation of movement in specific
directions.
Conclusion US can demonstrate the difference in ARC thickness
between the affected and unaffected shoulders in patients with unilateral
FS. The ARC th
