Treatment For Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, occurs when tissues around the joint, scar and stiffen, restricting movement or making it painful and stiff. This condition occurs due to overuse, injury or because of diseases like diabetes or stroke. Frozen shoulder treatment includes both surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Frozen shoulders can develop after surgeries as well, due to limited movement of shoulder. Found commonly in middle aged people, it is more prominently seen in women than in men. Women are susceptible to this disorder around the menopausal period.

Symptoms
The symptoms of frozen shoulder occur in three steps: -
Freezing stage – the range of shoulder motion becomes limited and increased movement causes pain.
Frozen stage – though pain decreases, the stiffness of shoulder increases.
Thawing stage – the pain and stiffness starts easing.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis for frozen treatment can be done through a physical examination and X-ray. During physical examination, the doctor can detect limitations in the range of motion of shoulder. X-ray can help in confirming that the issues are due to frozen shoulder and not arthritis or any such disorders.
Frozen Shoulder Treatment

• Medication: The medications for frozen shoulder includes corticosteroid injections to reduce pain and stiffness in the shoulder joints. It helps with improving mobility of the shoulders at the initial stages of the disease.
• Joint distension: This method of frozen shoulder treatment involves injecting the shoulder joint capsule with sterile water. This helps in loosening of tissues and thereby, ease movement.
• Shoulder manipulation: Performed under general anaesthesia to reduce pain due to movement, this treatment involves moving the stiff joints continuously to ease stiffness and tightened tissue.
• Surgery: This is an extreme measure performed in cases when other treatments do not work. Surgery is performed to remove the adhesions or scar tissues from shoulder joint. This surgery is usually performed as arthroscopy.

Revision Knee Arthroplasty

Advancements in science and technology has increased the lifespan of artificial implants. Still, some of these artificial implants wear away, making the need for a second surgery. Revision knee arthroplasty is the process of performing a second knee replacement surgery by replacing failed prosthesis with new implants. Revision knee arthroplasty requires proper planning, sophisticated implants, new surgical techniques and therefore is time consuming.

Need for revision knee arthroplasty

• Loosening of joint
• Infection in joint
•  Instability of implants
• Damage to implants
• Fracture of bone around joint

Types of revision implants
Cemented prosthesis and uncemented prosthesis are the two types of revision implants. Cemented prosthesis uses epoxy cement to attach the metal to the bone and uncemented prosthesis uses a mesh of holes which makes the bone grow into the mesh. In some cases both procedures are used based on the condition of the joint.

Surgical procedure of Knee Arthroplasty
Revision knee arthroplasty is a difficult procedure due to the bone loss around primary prosthesis. In order to overcome this problem the surgeon uses bone graft around artificial joint. After placing bone and other materials, new prosthesis is implanted. New artificial joints are only placed after making sure that the joint is infection free.
Like any other surgery, revision knee arthroplasty has also some complications like implant loosening, infection, wound complications, anesthesia complications etc.

After surgery
Special stocking and well padded dressings are provided to prevent blood clotting. Physical therapies are mandatory to improve the mobility of knees. Routine check ups are necessary to monitor the progress of recovery and to prevent further complications.
