Introduction: Shoulder capsulitis (SC) is a common musculoskeletal complication in patients with diabetes. It can be particularly disabling. It is often overlooked by clinicians. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of retractile capsulitis and to identify the risk factors in a population of Moroccan diabetic patients.

Materials And Methods: We realised a cross-sectional study including patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). We recorded the demographic and diabetic characteristics of our patients. SC and vascular complications were assessed by clinical and para-clinical investigations. The prevalence of SC was calculated. The factors associated with SC were evaluated by suitable statistical tests.

Results: Three hundred and Sixty-five patients were included; 84.9% had Type 2 DM (T2DM). The mean age of the participants was 52.6 ± 13.6. Shoulder capsulitis was present in 12.6% of patients. In statistical analysis, age >50 years (P = 0.001), T2DM (P = 0.03), duration of progression >10 years (P = 0.03), dyslipidemia (P = 0.013) and macrovascular complications (P = 0.009) were associated with an increased frequency of SC.

Conclusion: This study shows that the prevalence of SC is higher in diabetic patients. Therefore, inclusion of this pathology in the global management of the diabetic patient is necessary.

Background: Adhesive capsulitis is a distressing ailment that progressively limits the active and passive mobility of the shoulder joint. Physical therapy (PT) combined with intra-articular steroid (IAS) injection and suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) has shown improved functional outcomes. We aimed to assess whether providing both IAS injection and SSNB improved outcomes compared with IAS injection alone.

Introduction: Shoulder pain represents a common patient complaint evaluated in a primary care setting. Approximately two thirds of these patients have rotator cuff injuries, with rotator cuff tears (RCTs) and subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) accounting for a majority of causes. An accurate and efficient diagnostic strategy focused on physical examination findings may lead to improved outcomes and less functional disability.

Article Synopsis
  • Frozen shoulder (FS) is a painful condition that limits shoulder movement, and this study looks at how liver enzymes and thyroid function relate to pain and shoulder function in FS patients.
  • Researchers evaluated 32 patients' metabolic biomarkers through blood tests and assessed pain and functionality using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI).
  • The study found that lower levels of certain liver enzymes (AST, ALT, GGT) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were associated with higher pain scores, indicating that these metabolic factors may influence the severity of FS symptoms.

Purpose: The primary aim of this retrospective study is to compare the short and medium-term outcomes for shoulder hydrodilatation for treatment of shoulder AC between diabetic and non-diabetic patients, to evaluate if there were better outcomes amongst non-diabetic patients.

Methods: Patients with clinical or radiological diagnosis of AC and who underwent fluoroscopic guided shoulder hydrodilatation in our local institution from January 2021 to June 2022 were included in this study. Clinical outcomes were measured with visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and passive range of motion consisting of forward flexion (FF) and external rotation (ER) at pre-hydrodilatation, one month and six months post hydrodilatation.
