Adhesive capsulitis, a common primary care and orthopedic diagnosis often referred to as frozen shoulder, is a painful inflammatory process that leads to a mechanical block in active and passive range of shoulder motion. Risk factors include diabetes and thyroid dysfunction. Diagnosis is made based on physical examination, but can be augmented by diagnostic imaging. Nonsurgical management is the mainstay of treatment because the disease is self-limiting. However, some patients may need surgical intervention.
粘连性肩关节囊炎，一种常见的初级保健和骨科诊断，通常被称为冻结肩，是一种导致主动和被动肩部运动范围受限的疼痛性炎症过程。危险因素包括糖尿病和甲状腺功能障碍。诊断基于体格检查，但可以通过诊断性影像学检查来增强。非手术治疗是主要的治疗方法，因为这种疾病是自限性的。然而，一些患者可能需要手术干预。
