Pain and stiffness resulting from degenerative disease of the rotator cuff of the glenohumeral joint is not always self-limiting. In a few patients, the symptoms persist despite medication and physiotherapy. Distension arthrography, a method of hydrostatic manipulation, has been used in six such patients; five recovered full range of abduction and rotation and the sixth was improved. It is concluded that distension arthrography should be part of the treatment of intractable pain stiffness of the shoulder joint.
因盂肱关节肩袖退行性疾病导致的疼痛和僵硬并不总是自限性的。在少数患者中，尽管进行了药物治疗和物理治疗，症状仍会持续。扩张关节造影术是一种流体静力操作方法，已应用于6例此类患者；其中5例恢复了外展和旋转的全范围活动，第6例有所改善。得出的结论是，扩张关节造影术应成为肩关节顽固性疼痛僵硬治疗的一部分。
