Objective: To evaluate the additive eff ects of hyaluronidase combined with steroids in patients with peri-articular shoulder disorder.
Method: Thirty patients with peri-articular shoulder disorder were given subacromial bursa injections once a week for three consecutive weeks. Fifteen patients (Group A) underwent subacromial bursa injections with hyaluronidase 1,500 IU, triamcinolone 40 mg and 0.5% lidocaine (total 6 ml). Another fi fteen patients (Group B) underwent the same injections with triamcinolone 40 mg and 0.5% lidocaine (total 6 ml). We examined the active range of motion (AROM) in the shoulder, used a visual analogue scale (VAS) for measurement, and administered a shoulder disability questionnaire (SDQ) at the commencement of the study and then every week until one week after the third injection.
Results: There were no significant difference between group A and B before the injections took place (p>0.05). Statistically signifi cant improvement was seen in the VAS, SDQ, and AROM of fl exion, abduction, internal rotation at one week after the first and second injections compared with the parameters measured at previous visits in both groups (p<0.05), except the SDQ between one week after the fi rst and second injections in group B (p>0.05). Improvement in all parameters measured at one week after the third injection compared with the measurement values at one week after the second injection were not statistically signifi cant in both groups (p>0.05). However, group A (the hyaluronidase group) showed signifi cantly greater improvements than group B in terms of their SDQ and AROM of internal rotation scores one week after the three injections had taken place (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Peri-articular shoulder disorder patients who underwent subacromial bursa injections using hyaluronidase and steroids showed greater functional improvements than those who were given only steroid injections.
