冻结肩的关节囊松解术 资料 知情同意
为何建议进行此手术
Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton 的上肢外科医生 Kieran Hirpara 医生会从适合您病情的微创方案开始。患者通常由其全科医生(GP)转诊至我们的诊所;如果理疗师建议您就诊,您仍需获得全科医生的转诊,方有资格享受 Medicare 报销。在您的预约就诊中,我们会采集病史,检查您的肩部,并在需要时安排影像学检查以确诊。
冻结肩(肩周炎)导致疼痛和僵硬,是因为关节周围的弹性衬里(关节囊)发生炎症并变得紧绷。我们通常首先采用非手术治疗,如物理治疗、拉伸和注射。当这些方法未能带来足够改善时,我们会考虑手术。关节囊松解术是指切开该衬里中紧绷的部分,使肩部能够重新自由活动。当类固醇注射未能给您带来足够的缓解时,我们会建议进行此手术,而不是让您等待固定的月数。该手术通过肩部周围的小切口进行微创(关节镜)操作。大多数人在手术后不久即会感到疼痛减轻、活动更自如。该手术旨在恢复活动度、缓解疼痛并使您的肩部恢复日常使用。
术前
您的外科医生将在手术前几周为您提供明确的指导。您需要在术前七小时停止进食和饮水。我们要求七小时而非六小时,以便如果手术室排班提前,您的手术可以提前进行。请告知您的外科医生您正在服用的所有药物,包括抗凝药,因为某些药物可能需要暂停。请在手术当天携带一份书面药物清单。安排他人在术后驾车送您回家,并穿着宽松、舒适且易于更换的衣物。X 光、超声或磁共振成像(MRI)等影像学检查有助于制定手术方案,并显示您肩部的状况。如果您有其他健康状况,可能需要进行血液检查或接受麻醉医生的评估。
手术当日
您将抵达医院的手术入院病区,在此办理入院手续并进行术前准备。随后,您将与麻醉师见面,麻醉师负责管理您的麻醉及术后镇痛。本手术在全身麻醉联合区域神经阻滞下进行。手术期间您将处于完全睡眠状态,而神经阻滞(在苏醒前注射以阻断支配手臂神经的麻醉剂)可为术后最初的12至24小时提供镇痛效果。麻醉师将在手术前与您见面,并详细讲解这两部分流程。
随后,您将被带入手术室进行手术。手术结束后,您将在复苏室苏醒,护士会在此监测您的状况,直至麻醉作用消退。待您的生命体征稳定后,将根据具体手术项目及恢复情况,决定您是转入病房还是直接回家。
手术内容
您的外科医生将以关节镜(微创)手术方式实施此操作。在您的肩部周围,包括后侧,会做几个小切口。一根带有小型摄像头的细管伸入关节内,以便外科医生在屏幕上观察关节囊,即关节周围的致密衬里。
随后,外科医生会切断致密的组织束以松解肩部。外科医生会松解衬里中紧绷的部分,通常从肩部前方和顶部开始,根据僵硬程度的需要向下并环绕进行。仅切断关节囊的一部分只能在一个方向上恢复活动度,因此松解范围以实际需要为准;范围较小的松解效果似乎至少与切开整个关节囊相当。关节内的炎性组织也可被清除。在靠近关节底部走行神经的区域需格外小心,松解操作分层进行以保护这些神经。
致密组织松解后,您的肩部会被轻柔活动,以检查新的活动范围。随后,小切口用缝线缝合,并在其上覆盖敷料。
目标很简单:切断致密的部分,使关节能够再次自由活动。
术后
大多数患者在此手术后需在医院过夜,但部分患者可能当天即可出院。您将在恢复区苏醒,随后转入病房。术后头一两天,您可能会佩戴简易吊带以增加舒适度;由于没有需要保护的修复部位,您可以自由使用手臂。物理治疗师会指导您立即开始进行相关活动,并在当天持续进行。镇痛方案在您苏醒前已安排妥当,因此大多数人认为术后头一两天的疼痛是可以忍受的。术后最初24小时内,应有人陪同您。我们通常保留敷料约10天;除非我们告知您,否则请勿在此之前自行拆除。我们将在复诊时为您更换或拆除敷料。
恢复
大多数人会立即察觉到变化。那种导致睡眠和穿衣困难的紧绷、卡顿感,通常从最初几天起就会大大减轻。您的手臂仍会感到酸痛,肩部在手术部位可能会感到淤青和肿胀。这种情况会在最初的一两周内逐渐消退。坚持进行活动,使用已开具的止痛药,并在锻炼间隙自由使用手臂,都有助于恢复。
您的日常将围绕简单且频繁的锻炼展开。在出院前,物理治疗师会向您演示最初的几个动作,您需要在一整天中重复这些动作,以防止新的活动度再次僵硬。随后,您的物理治疗师将指导您的康复计划,从温和的辅助拉伸逐步过渡到您自主完成的动作。如使用吊带,也仅在最初一两天内用于提供舒适感。您可以在家中自由走动,但在驾驶前需等待外科医生的许可,通常是在六周复查时。我们关于上肢手术后驾驶的指南对此有更详细的说明。
随着活动能力的恢复,日常任务将分阶段回归:先是向后伸手,然后是手臂上举过头顶,最后恢复工作和您喜欢的活动。每个人的恢复情况各不相同,您的时间表也可能有所不同。您的外科医生和物理治疗师将在每次复查时为您提供指导。
可能出现的并发症
大多数患者恢复良好,但偶尔可能出现并发症。您的外科医生和医疗团队会密切监测您的状况,以便尽早发现任何问题。
肩部周围的小切口可能发生感染。请留意伤口周围扩散的红肿、肿胀加剧或伤口渗出液体。如果疼痛剧烈且呈搏动性,且普通止痛药无法缓解,这也是另一个警示信号。如果您注意到上述任何症状,请立即致电诊所,不要等到下次复诊。早期发现的感染通常通过引流和口服抗生素治疗即可痊愈。
神经紧邻肩部,邻近神经的手术可能导致暂时性刺激。您可能会注意到手臂出现刺痛、麻木或局部感觉减退。有些人会感觉手臂部分肌肉无力或反应迟钝。这些变化通常是暂时的,会在数天至数个月内自行消退。请在复诊时告知任何新的麻木或刺痛感,如果症状突然发作,请立即致电诊所。
骨骼和关节光滑的内衬可能在手术过程中受损。您可能会感觉到与常规术后酸痛不同的疼痛,或在活动时出现咔哒声或摩擦感。请在下次复诊时提出此问题,以便进行检查。
肩袖(帮助抬举和旋转手臂的一组肌腱)也可能受到影响。这表现为肩部侧面的深层酸痛,抬举手臂或向上伸展时感到无力。像穿衣等简单任务可能比预期更困难。如果症状未按预期改善,请告知您的外科医生或物理治疗师,以便他们进行检查并调整您的康复计划。
如果在复诊之间有任何担忧,请致电诊所。本页面下方的并发症表格列出了典型发生率,如果您想了解具体数据,可参考该表格。
何时联系我们
如果您出现发热,或伤口处的发红、肿胀或渗液情况加重,请立即致电诊所。如果您注意到突发剧烈疼痛、新的麻木或刺痛感,或无法活动手臂,请致电我们。如果您出现小腿肿胀或疼痛,或呼吸困难,请前往急诊,因为这些症状可能提示血栓形成。如果有任何让您担忧且不确定的情况,请致电我们。我们更希望尽早了解您的情况。

Anatomy & Pathophysiology
Bony Anatomy
- The proximal humerus comprises four main parts: the humeral head, greater tuberosity, lesser tuberosity, and humeral shaft [3].
- The articular head of the humerus is spherical with a diameter of 37 to 57 mm [3].
- The most superior portion of the articular surface of the humeral head averages 8 mm above the greater tuberosity [3].
- Humeral version averages 29.8 degrees, with a range of 10 to 55 degrees [3].
- The humeral head is inclined approximately 130 degrees with respect to the humeral shaft [3].
- The neck-shaft angle measures an average of 135 degrees [4].
- The humeral head is retroverted an average of 30 degrees [4].
- The glenoid is a convex structure of shallow depth shaped like an inverted pear [3].
- The glenoid cavity is a shallow socket, approximately one third the size of the humeral head [4].
- The subchondral bone of the glenoid is relatively flat, with the articular concavity augmented by cartilage and a circumferential labrum [6].
- The glenoid averages 5° of retroversion in relation to the axis of the scapular body [6].
- The acromion, coracoacromial ligament, and coracoid process form the coracoacromial arch, a rigid bony-ligamentous structure that imparts stability to the shoulder girdle [3].
- The scapula is attached to the axial skeleton by the acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints [5].
- The scapula is separated from the chest wall by thin gliding fibro-fatty tissue, allowing its smooth excursion over the chest wall [5].
- The lateral pillar connects the inferior border of the glenoid with the inferior angle of the scapula [5].
- The spinal pillar arises from the central part of the glenoid and continues medially to become part of the base of the scapular spine [5].
- The two bony pillars connected by a markedly thinner medial border form the basic load-bearing structure of the scapular body, known as the biomechanical body of the scapula [5].
- The weakest bone in the scapula is located primarily in the central part of the biomechanical body, specifically in the infraspinous fossa [5].
- The weakest area of the circumference of the biomechanical body of the scapula is the spinomedial angle, which is the connection of the scapular spine and the medial border of the scapula [5].
Soft Tissue Anatomy
- The greater tuberosity serves as the attachment site for the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor tendons of the rotator cuff [3].
- The lesser tuberosity serves as the attachment site for the subscapularis tendon [3].
- The bicipital groove lies between the greater and lesser tuberosities and serves as a pathway for the long head of the biceps [3].
- The rotator cuff consists of four muscles: the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor [4].
- The infraspinatus and teres minor are external rotators, while the subscapularis is an internal rotator of the humerus [4].
- The rotator cuff muscles serve as depressors of the humeral head to allow the deltoid to efficiently abduct the humerus [4].
- The subscapular bursa lies between the subscapularis tendon and the neck of the scapula and communicates with the joint cavity between the superior and middle glenohumeral ligaments [7].
- The rotator interval is defined medially by the base of the coracoid, superiorly by the supraspinatus tendon, and inferiorly by the subscapularis tendon [6].
- The rotator interval contains the coracohumeral ligament, the superior glenohumeral ligament, and the intra-articular portion of the long head of the biceps tendon [6].
- The coracohumeral ligament restricts external rotation in adduction and is a static restraint to inferior and posterior translation in adduction and external rotation [6].
- The superior glenohumeral ligament is a primary static restraint against anterior translation with the arm at the side [6].
- The middle glenohumeral ligament is a primary static restraint against anterior translation with the arm in external rotation and 45° of abduction [6].
- The anterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament is a primary static restraint against anterior-inferior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint in 90° of abduction and external rotation [6].
- The posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament is a primary static restraint against posterior-inferior translation in internal rotation and adduction [6].
- The glenoid labrum provides concavity and up to 50% of marginal glenoid socket depth [6].
Vascular Anatomy
- The proximal humerus receives its blood supply from the anterior and posterior humeral circumflex branches from the third division of the axillary artery [3].
- The anterior humeral circumflex artery provides vascular inflow to the humeral head by way of its terminal anterolateral branch known as the artery of Laing, also known as the arcuate artery [3].
- The ascending branch of the anterior humeral circumflex artery courses parallel to the lateral aspect of the long head biceps tendon and enters the humeral head at the interface of the bicipital groove and greater tuberosity [3].
- The anterolateral ascending branch of the anterior humeral circumflex artery provides the primary blood supply to the humeral head [6].
- Injury to the arcuate artery may result in osteonecrosis of the humeral head [3].
- Additional extraosseous collateral branches can permit humeral head perfusion despite complete ligation of the arcuate artery [3].
Pathophysiology of Frozen Shoulder
- Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is characterized by pain and restricted glenohumeral joint motion, especially external rotation [15].
- The essential lesion in frozen shoulder involves the coracohumeral ligament and the rotator interval capsule [15].
- Histologically, frozen shoulder shows evidence of inflammation and fibrosis with a dense matrix of type III collagen containing fibroblasts and myofibroblasts [15].
- The histological findings in frozen shoulder appear similar to findings in Dupuytren disease [15].
- Laxity of the rotator interval results in inferior laxity, while contracture of the interval is seen with adhesive capsulitis [6].
- Posttraumatic or postsurgical stiffness results from excessive scar formation [15].
- Motion loss in posttraumatic or postsurgical stiffness may involve the humeroscapular motion interface between the proximal humerus and overlying deltoid and conjoined tendon, as well as contracture of the rotator cuff and capsule [15].
- The pathogenesis of a stiff shoulder is still elusive, though ongoing basic science research has provided insight into cellular and biochemical pathways resulting in shoulder stiffness [1].
Investigations
General Principles
- The diagnosis of a stiff shoulder depends on awareness of the problem, with history and physical examination being paramount [1].
- Ancillary studies may be helpful in certain circumstances for the diagnosis of a stiff shoulder [1].
- The purpose of imaging the shoulder is to help establish the diagnosis, determine the severity of the pathoanatomy, assist in surgical planning, and enable the surgeon to illustrate the condition to the patient [2].
- Unless a specific research protocol is in place, the temptation to "overimage" should be resisted by obtaining only the scans or reconstructions necessary for patient care [2].
- Proper radiographic technique is as important as proper surgical technique to achieve the desired outcome [2].
- A robust approach to imaging the shoulder must recognize that the shoulder is a three-dimensional structure that cannot be represented by a single planar view [13].
- Critical relationships, such as the degree of centering of the humeral head, change with the position of the arm [13].
- Shoulder pathology may be found in a large number of different bones and soft tissues [13].
- Overlying and superimposed structures as well as metallic implants may complicate imaging the structures of interest [13].
- Surgeons need to develop a judicious approach to imaging that yields necessary information while avoiding the tendency to "over-image" [13].
Radiographic Evaluation
- Standardized plain films are almost always sufficient to garner the information needed for shoulder care [2].
- CT scans may offer a few degrees of increased precision in the measurement of glenoid version, but this precision does not improve the quality of the surgery or the clinical outcome [2].
- There is information that can be gathered from properly taken plain films that cannot be obtained from CT scans [2].
- The first key radiographic view is the anteroposterior (AP) view in the plane of the scapula taken so that the x-ray beam passes through the glenohumeral joint [2].
- The AP view in the plane of the scapula shows the superoinferior position of the humeral head relative to the glenoid [2].
- The AP view in the plane of the scapula shows the presence of osteophytes on the humeral head and glenoid [2].
- The AP view in the plane of the scapula shows narrowing of the joint space [2].
- The AP view in the plane of the scapula shows the degree of medial displacement of the humerus in relation to the lateral acromial line [2].
- The AP view in the plane of the scapula shows the quality of the humeral and glenoid bone [2].
- The AP view in the plane of the scapula shows the presence of loose bodies [2].
- The AP view in the plane of the scapula shows whether there is humeral head collapse or deformity [2].
- The second key radiographic view is the axillary view taken with the arm in the functional position of elevation in the plane of the scapula [2].
- The axillary view is oriented so that both the spinoglenoid notch and the scapular neck are visible [2].
- The axillary view shows a different perspective of the humeral anatomy [2].
- The axillary view shows the amount of glenoid bone [2].
- The axillary view shows the shape of the glenoid [2].
- The axillary view shows the version of the glenoid in relation to the plane of the scapula [2].
- The axillary view shows the relationship of the humeral head to the glenoid fossa [2].
- The standardized axillary view is referred to as the "truth view" because it demonstrates glenohumeral relationships in the functional position of elevation [2].
- CT scans have the disadvantage of being taken with the arm in the adducted position [2].
- Many "axillary views" sent for consultation are taken without standardization, making it impossible to determine important features of the glenohumeral joint [2].
- When taken properly, standardized anteroposterior and axillary views indicate the thickness of the cartilage space between the humerus and the glenoid [2].
- When taken properly, standardized anteroposterior and axillary views indicate relative positions of the humeral head and the glenoid [2].
- When taken properly, standardized anteroposterior and axillary views indicate the presence of osteophytes [2].
- When taken properly, standardized anteroposterior and axillary views indicate the degree of osteopenia [2].
- When taken properly, standardized anteroposterior and axillary views indicate the extent of bony deformity and erosion [2].
- Joint space narrowing is most evident on the axillary truth view as opposed to images made with the arm at the side [2].
- The axillary truth view can show posterior subluxation or "functional decentering" that is not evident in images taken with the arm at the side [2].
- The degree of posterior subluxation can be measured as the position of the center of the humeral head in relation to the plane of the scapula [2].
- The degree of posterior subluxation can be measured as the position of the center of the humeral head in relation to the glenoid face [2].
- The degree of posterior subluxation can be measured as the point of contact of the humeral articular surface on the glenoid articular surface [2].
- The point of contact of the humeral articular surface on the glenoid articular surface reflects the degree of centering of the net humeral joint reaction force on the glenoid [2].
- Malcentering of the joint reaction force leads to posterior instability, posterior glenoid wear, and "rocking horse" loosening of prosthetic glenoid components [2].
- At least two X-ray views should be obtained: an anteroposterior in the plane of the glenoid and an axillary projection with the arm in abduction [11].
- The axillary projection with the arm in abduction shows the relationship of the humeral head to the glenoid [11].
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful to identify osteonecrosis of the humeral head [11].
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful to identify a bone tumour [11].
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can identify labral tears [11].
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can identify rotator cuff tears [11].
- The accuracy of MRI for identifying labral tears and rotator cuff tears is enhanced by combining the scan with arthrography [11].
- Findings of adhesive capsulitis and an intact labrum on magnetic resonance arthrography were independent predictors for pain relief after glenohumeral corticosteroid injections [14].
Computed Tomography
- Computed tomography (CT) is helpful for planning fracture surgery [11].
- Computed tomography (CT) is helpful for planning shoulder joint replacement [11].
Ultrasonography
- Ultrasonography is a simple and accurate test for identifying rotator cuff tears [11].
- Ultrasonography is a simple and accurate test for identifying calcific tendinitis [11].
- Ultrasonography can be useful in guiding injections [11].
- Ultrasonography can be useful in guiding barbotage, which involves aspirating calcific deposits in the rotator cuff [11].
- The most commonly performed joint examination using ultrasonography is the shoulder examination [9].
- The accuracy of shoulder ultrasonography depends on the skill of the scanner operator and an awareness of pitfalls that are encountered [9].
