Abstract
Utilizing cadaveric and patient shoulders, normal values of intraarticular pressure were established during injection of increasing volumes of fluid within the glenohumeral joint. The characteristic biphasic pressures vs. volume curve that was normally observed was then compared with curves obtained in patients with a tear of the rotator cuff or with adhesive capsulitis. This method of examination should allow accurate objective assessment of the presence and severity of adhesive capsulitis.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
