(split up) Patho of Frozen Shoulder

• Frozen Shoulder Pathogenesis/Development - subacromial fibrosis:

  • presence of fibrous tissue and adhesions in the subacromial space, leading to restricted movements and impingement of the shoulder structures
• Frozen Shoulder Pathogenesis/Development - capsular thickening:

  • joint capsule may exhibit thickening and fibrosis, leading to loss of ROM and shoulder joints stiffness
• Frozen Shoulder Pathogenesis/Development - proliferative synovitis:

  • the synovium lining the joint capsule may show signs of excessive proliferation and inflammation, contributing to the thickening of the synovial tissue
