Popis: AIMS Etiology, natural history and therapy of the frozen shoulder still remains obscure. Therefore observation of natural history is of interest. METHOD In a retrospective study 140 patients with different therapies were followed-up. RESULTS 28 (20%) patients were not considered as healed because of persisting complaints during the whole follow-up period with an average duration of 49 months. Mobilisation under anaesthesia (27 patients) showed an less improval in range of motion with a shortening of complaint period. CONCLUSION The existence of a subgroup of patients with no response on regular therapy is assumed.
