Introduction

Examination under anesthesia (EUA) may be helpful in the evaluation and management of a frozen shoulder by enabling the joint to be moved while the muscles are completely relaxed.

Stretching and evaluating shoulder tightness

Under these circumstances, the tightness of the capsule of the joint can be evaluated and gently stretched. Before proceeding, it is important that the surgeon and patient agree on a plan if good motion is not achieved with manipulation. One option is to return to the exercise program; another is to proceed to a surgical release during the same anesthetic.
