Shoulder adhesive capsulitis in the early freezing phase: correlations between blood exams and Constant Score

We analysed the possibility that some blood values could be considered as a prognostic index of shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Fifty-six conservatively treated patients were clinically evaluated and prospectively followed at the moment of their freezing phase. At the beginning of the disease (time 0)...

Description
Summary:We analysed the possibility that some blood values could be considered as a prognostic index of shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Fifty-six conservatively treated patients were clinically evaluated and prospectively followed at the moment of their freezing phase. At the beginning of the disease (time 0) and after 4 months (time 1), we registered some blood parameters values and their Constant Score (CS). Differences emerged for the white blood cell count ( P  = 0.037) that decreased and for the CS ( P
