Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) Treatment in Istanbul
Progressive shoulder stiffness and pain from capsular contracture — resolves over 1–3 years but can be dramatically accelerated with hydrodilatation, manipulation under anaesthesia, or arthroscopic release.
About Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) is a common orthopaedic condition accurately diagnosed with clinical examination, ultrasound, and MRI.
At Central Ortho & Spine we provide rapid specialist assessment, imaging, and a personalised treatment plan — from conservative care to minimally invasive surgery.
- Diagnosis confirmed by clinical examination and imaging (ultrasound/MRI)
- Most cases respond well to conservative treatment as the first step
- Image-guided injection therapy provides rapid and precise pain relief
- Surgical options available when conservative treatment is insufficient
Treatment Options
Physiotherapy & NSAIDs
Pendulum exercises, passive stretching, and anti-inflammatory medication in the painful phase.
Hydrodilatation (Arthrographic Distension)
Fluoroscopy-guided injection of saline, steroid, and anaesthetic to stretch the contracted capsule — rapid motion restoration.
Manipulation Under Anaesthesia (MUA)
Controlled capsular tearing under GA restores motion immediately — combined with hydrodilatation for best results.
Arthroscopic Capsular Release
Keyhole release of the contracted anteroinferior capsule — for cases refractory to MUA or with persistent severe stiffness.
