A preliminary study of manipulation under anaesthesia for secondary frozen shoulder following breast cancer treatment

Abstract

The results of this preliminary study suggest that MUA, corticosteroid injection and subsequent physiotherapy have achieved good final results in a series of patients with frozen shoulder secondary to breast cancer treatment. Members of the multidisciplinary team looking after breast cancer patients should be aware of this management option and, on manifestation of this pathology, should refer the patient to an orthopaedic surgeon.
