Implication

Narrative review evaluates conservative and surgical management options for frozen shoulder, highlighting conservative care as the primary effective strategy before surgery.

Key Points

To review the current conservative and surgical management modalities for frozen shoulder and identify indications for clinical escalation.
Narrative synthesis of clinical approaches addressing synovial inflammation and capsular fibrosis.
Evaluation of non-operative interventions (medications, physiotherapy, steroid injections, hydrodistension) alongside surgical modalities (manipulation under anesthesia, arthroscopic capsular release, open release).
Conservative management successfully resolves symptoms and restores functional range of motion in the majority of patients.
Persistent pain and joint restriction after 3 to 6 months of conservative treatment serve as the standard threshold for surgical intervention, though clinical consensus regarding the single most efficacious treatment is lacking.
