A painful shoulder combined with restricted movement is not uncommon. Many diseases can be responsible for these symptoms.
If the restricted movement continues to increase, however, it could be frozen shoulder – also known as a frozen shoulder or simply shoulder stiffness. This phenomenon is a distinct clinical picture.
We are currently scouring our medical records and scientifically evaluating the results. Even today, there is little data on frozen shoulder. Many studies contain only a few cases and are therefore inaccurate. Over the past five years, more than 2,000 patients with this diagnosis have been treated in our practice – a significant number.
In addition to the latest scientific findings, our personal experience in treating these more than 2,000 cases also influences our diagnosis and treatment decisions. This is an invaluable wealth of knowledge that benefits our patients.
The first result of our own analysis is the age and gender distribution of these 2,000 patients.
