Core Tip	The treatment of frozen shoulder is selected depending on the preference of the treating physician, since there are no guidelines or protocols. The physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and orthopedicians who are not trained in shoulder arthroscopy often select non-surgical methods. On the other hand, shoulder arthroscopists prefer arthroscopic arthrolysis. We conducted a randomised clinical trial to compare the results of arthroscopic arthrolysis and intra-articular steroid injection in frozen shoulder. Both modalities resulted in significant improvement in pain, range of motion and Constant score. However the improvement in surgery group preceded those in injection group by 4-8 wk.
