Core Tip

Core Tip: Manipulation under anesthesia for a frozen shoulder can lead to damage to other intra-articular structures besides the rupture of the capsule, which is the main aim of this procedure. In most cases, it leads to rupture of the anterior capsule. This is the same area where arthroscopic releases are most often performed. Rupture of the posterior and inferior capsule can also occur depending on the rotational and adduction manipulation of the shoulder.
