Are Serum Lipids Involved in Primary Frozen Shoulder?

Abstract

We conclude that hypercholesterolemia and inflammatory lipoproteinemias, particularly hyper-low-density lipoproteinemia and hyper-non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia, have a significant association with primary frozen shoulder. Further research is needed to evaluate whether a non-optimal serum lipid level is a cause, a related co-factor, or a result of primary frozen shoulder.
