Research in progress
Title: "Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder:  Outcome of Operative and Non-Operative treatment"
Description: Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder is characterized by global deficits in both active and passive glenohumeral motion and often associated with systemic conditions such as diabetes. Our objectives were to evaluate the efficacy of operative and non-operative treatment of adhesive capsulitis and to determine predictors of unsatisfactory outcome.
