Prospective study shows benefits of arthroscopic capsular release in shoulder, indicating optimal timing improves outcomes.

To evaluate factors influencing clinical and functional outcomes after arthroscopic capsular release in adhesive capsulitis patients.
Prospective observational study with 34 patients diagnosed with primary adhesive capsulitis.
Assessment of pain and functional impact preoperatively and at 2, 4, and 12 weeks postoperatively.
Data analysis included Chi-square, ANOVA, and paired t-test.
Mean Visual Analog Scale score improved from 7.79 preoperatively to 1.47 at final follow-up (p<0.001).
Constant-Murley score increased from 34.8 to 75.09, indicating significant functional improvement.
Diabetic patients exhibited delayed recovery but final outcomes were still favorable.
