Abstract: Objective To compare the clinical effects between sodium hyaluronate injection and absorbable medical film implantation with arthroscopic release in treatment of frozen shoulder. Methods 40 cases of frozen shoulder patients from September 2015 to December 2016, 20 cases of sodium hyaluronate injection with arthroscopic release (SH group), 20 cases of absorbable medical film implantation with arthroscopic release (Medical Film group), the visual analogue scale (VAS), the shoulder joint function scores of American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) between the two groups were compared. Results After 6 months follow-up, the VAS score, ASES score and UCLA score of the two groups were significantly improved (P < 0.05), the difference of VAS score, ASES score and UCLA score between the two groups were not statistically significant. Conclusion The sodium hyaluronate injection and absorbable medical film implantation with arthroscopic release can improve the shoulder function, and there is no significant difference between them.
