Abstract
It appears that misdiagnosis is common and early diagnosis of tubercular infection in the glenohumeral joint has become increasingly difficult. Glenohumeral joint tuberculosis should be suspected in cases of longstanding pain in the shoulder. It is necessary to re-examine these frozen shoulder patients with repeated plain radiographs followed by further imaging studies, especially magnetic resonance imaging, if conservative therapy fails.
