Abstract

The signs and symptoms of adhesive capsulitis are reviewed. It is clear that this is a specific disease process distinct from those cases of "frozen shoulder." Four specific stages of the disease have been visualized at arthroscopy prior to manipulation. Stage 1 of adhesive capsulitis mimics the impingement syndrome of the shoulder.

Unnecessary arthroscopies.

A review of the results of arthroscopies on patients taken from an 'open access' service waiting list has been carried out. One-third of all arthroscopies proved to be negative. Accuracy of clinical diagnosis was not related to the clinical grade of the examining doctor. The excess annual cost to the Northern Ireland Orthopaedic Service of unnecessary arthroscopies may have been of the order of 89,000 pounds.

Rehabilitation of the temporomandibular joint after arthroscopic surgery.

Arthroscopy of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a new, relatively noninvasive surgical procedure for treating patients with TMJ dysfunctions beyond management by nonsurgical means. Ninety-two patients who underwent diagnostic and operative TMJ arthroscopy completed a staged physical therapy regimen, which resulted in functional mobility and mandibular use with little or no pain at 24-month follow-up. This report introduces TMJ arthroscopic diagnostic and surgical procedures and their respective rehabilitative protocols currently used to provide beneficial outcomes in postoperative treatment.
