Inflammation in frozen shoulder concentrates at the anterosuperior and anteroinferior glenoid labrum.

Background

Frozen shoulder is a common clinical condition; however, its pathophysiology and precise anatomical localization of inflammatory activity remain unclear.

Methods

Seven patients with frozen shoulder who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT were analyzed (2 men, 5 women; mean age, 59 years), all in the freezing phase.

n = 5 women

ρ = -0.709

Results

ρ = -0.709

inflammation intensity fell sharply with distance from the labrum

n = 5 women

More results

The mean SUVmax of the asymptomatic shoulder was 1.6 ± 0.3.

SUVmax was highest in the anterosuperior and anteroinferior labrum.

FDG uptake was most consistently observed at the glenoid labrum, which showed the highest SUVmax in all patients.

“

Conclusion

These findings provide insight into disease mechanisms and support further imaging studies focusing on the labrum.
