What volume of injection should be used in hydrodilatation for frozen shoulder? A prospective cohort study

This study evaluated the outcome and recurrence rates after hydrodilatation (HD) in patients with frozen shoulder (FS), comparing the effects of injecting 25 mL or more of fluid versus lower volumes. A total of 132 shoulders (130 patients) were treated at a shoulder clinic between August 2019 and Fe...

Description
Summary:This study evaluated the outcome and recurrence rates after hydrodilatation (HD) in patients with frozen shoulder (FS), comparing the effects of injecting 25 mL or more of fluid versus lower volumes. A total of 132 shoulders (130 patients) were treated at a shoulder clinic between August 2019 and February 2023. HD was performed under ultrasound guidance, injecting a combination of 40 mg Triamcinolone, 10 mL of local anaesthetic, and saline to a total volume of 10 to 40 mL based on patient tolerance. The results were analysed based on the volume of fluid injected and whether patients were diabetic. The overall failure or recurrence rate (FRR) was 24% after a minimum of 1 year. Non-diabetic patients injected with ≥25 mL had a significantly lower FRR (9%) compared to those injected with
