Abstract
Arthroscopic release of the frozen shoulder is a reliable procedure when performed correctly and with the right surgical indications. The primary components of this technique include a scalene block and forward elevation manipulation followed by surgical release of the rotator interval and anterior-inferior capsule. Postoperative pain control for the first 48 hours is provided by an intraarticular pain catheter. Patients are instructed in shoulder range of motion exercises and provided with a continuos passive motion device.
