Is Hyperlipidaemia a Cause of Primary Frozen Shoulder? A Case-Controlled Study

BACKGROUND aim of this study is to evaluate the association between serum lipid profiles and primary frozen shoulder. AND METHODS was a case-controlled study. The case group comprised 200 patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder from June 2011 to 2016. This study was approved by MKCG Medical College, Berhampur Ethical Committee. The diagnosis was done on basis 50% restriction of all motion of shoulder joint and x-rays of the shoulder in true anteroposterior, outlet and axillary lateral . mean values in the patients with frozen shoulder were 6.7 months (95% CI, less than one to sixty months) for the duration symptoms, 5.9 days (95% CI, 0 to seventy seven days) for the interval between the initial examination and blood sampling 7.5 days (95% CI, 0 to 118 days) for the interval between the initial examination and ultrasound or MRI. Among the 300 patients with primary frozen shoulder, 127 had a shoulder in the freezing stage, 168 had a shoulder in the frozen stage five had a shoulder in the thawing stage. conclude that elevated bad lipid levels have a significant association with primary frozen shoulder.
