Dr. M. A. Q. Ansari
Abstract :
Background: Periarthritis of shoulder is a common clinical condition in patients with diabetes. This study was conducted to evaluate the results of intra–articular and subacromial injection of corticosteroid followed by range of motion exercises in diabetic patients.
Methods: Twenty four diabetic patients with Periarthritis were treated on outpatient basis. The patients were treated with intra articular and subacromial injection of 2ml of 2% lidocaine and 1ml of triamcinolone acetonide 40mg/ml. Range of motion exercises were advised and followed up at 2 and 4 weeks and thereafter every 2 months.
Results: Good pain relief was experienced by twenty patients at first follow–up and four patients had fair relief of pain. The average range of motion increased by about 1000 in abduction and forward flexion. Complications included a recurrence of symptoms in three patients between 6 and 12 months, and were successfully treated by reinjection.
Conclusion: Intra–articular and subacromial injection of steroid followed by range of motion exercises is effective in treating Periarthritis of shoulder joint in diabetic patients.
