Influence of demographic and pathological factors on the clinical course and outcomes of the arthroscopic frozen shoulder 360° release
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Frozen shoulder (FS) is an inflammatory condition that affects the shoulder capsule and can cause significant pain and stiffness. The arthroscopic FS 360° release is indicated in patients with global active range of motion (AROM) limitation. The aim of this study is to determine whether various patient demographic and pathological variables influence patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following a complete capsule resection. The variables of interest include patient comorbidity status, conservative therapy prior to surgery, and time from symptom onset to surgical treatment. Methods: An observational prospective cohort study was conducted assessing PROMs and AROM in patients undergoing the 360° arthroscopic release between July 2013 and January 2019. AROM and PROMs including the Oxford Shoulder Score; Western Ontario Shoulder Index; Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand; Constant-Murley Score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, as well as general measures of pain intensity (visual analog scale) and wellbeing (Euro Quality of Life Measure) were collected preoperatively, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months postoperatively. Patient demographic variables including comorbidity status (diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders), preoperative therapy (physiotherapy, cortisone injections), and symptomatic timeframe prior to surgical treatment were also collected. Results: = .045). No complications or reoperations were reported. Conclusion: The arthroscopic 360° shoulder capsule release is a safe procedure with demonstrated improvements across all PROMs and AROM movements. Patient comorbidity status, prior conservative therapy, and symptomatic timeframe did not influence functional and symptomatic postoperative outcomes 24 months after surgery.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
