To describe and evaluate the outcome following shoulder manipulation under rotator interval block for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis. ⋯ Manipulation under general anaesthesia is a well-recognised treatment for adhesive capsulitis. We report that targeted ultrasound-guided injection of the rotator interval and manipulation of the shoulder under local anaesthetic blockade result in good outcomes in reducing shoulder pain and symptoms of adhesive capsulitis with low recurrence and complication rates.
