Treatment of deltoid contracture in adults by distal release of the deltoid.
Clinical Orthopaedics and related Research 2000 September
Twenty-five consecutive adult patients (32 shoulders) with deltoid contracture were treated with distal release and followed up for an average of 4 years (range, 2-8 years). All shoulders achieved full range of motion and complete relief of pain and deformity after 3 months. No muscle weakness was clinically evident. In addition, another five adult patients (nine shoulders) with deltoid contracture were treated with distal release and quantitative measurement of muscle power recovery around the shoulder with Cybex 340 dynamometer before surgery, and 3 months and 1 year after surgery. Isokinetic peak torque of shoulder muscles did not decrease significantly at either 60 degrees per second or 180 degrees per second angular velocity after surgery. In addition, the shoulder extensors showed a twofold increase of isokinetic peak torque after surgical release of deltoid contracture. Distal release was a simple and effective surgical technique to treat deltoid contracture in adults. All patients in this series achieved a satisfactory outcome.
