the aim of this study was to identify the incidence of surgical treatment for frozen shoulder in a western population.
patients included in this study all resided within a well-defined area in the North West of England, all had surgery for frozen shoulder over a 3-year period and were identified from theatre logbooks of two local hospitals. Cases having surgery for shoulder stiffness other than frozen shoulder were excluded. Local and national population size estimates were based on data obtained from the UK Office for National Statistics.
117 patients underwent surgery for frozen shoulder during the period examined; of these 101 had arthroscopic arthrolysis and 16 had manipulation under anaesthesia. The overall incidence of frozen shoulder surgery was calculated at 2.67 procedures per 10,000 general population per year, and at 7.55 for those aged 40-60.
surgical intervention for frozen shoulder is common, estimated at over 14,180 cases per year in England. Given the variation in costs associated with arthroscopic arthrolysis and manipulation under anaesthesia, comparative studies of the cost effectiveness of the two procedures would be of great value.

本研究旨在确定西方人群中肩周炎手术治疗的发生率。
本研究纳入的患者均居住在英格兰西北部一个明确界定的区域内，在3年期间均接受了肩周炎手术，且是从两家当地医院的手术记录中识别出来的。排除因非肩周炎导致的肩部僵硬而进行手术的病例。当地和全国人口规模估计基于从英国国家统计局获得的数据。
在所研究的期间内，117例患者接受了肩周炎手术；其中101例行关节镜下松解术，16例行麻醉下手法松解。肩周炎手术的总体发生率计算为每年每10000名普通人群中有2.67例手术，40 - 60岁人群中为7.55例。
肩周炎的手术干预很常见，据估计在英格兰每年超过14180例。鉴于关节镜下松解术和麻醉下手法松解的相关成本存在差异，对这两种手术的成本效益进行比较研究将具有很大价值。
