Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is often misdiagnosed because the pathophysiology and sequela of the disease process is poorly understood. During the COVID pandemic, there has been an increase in adhesive capsulitis cases with various hypotheses as to the correlation. This session will discuss the pearls and pitfalls associated with diagnosing and treating adhesive capsulitis during the current pandemic. To further understanding proper diagnosis, the pathophysiology will be discussed in depth including current literature if there is a correlation with SARS-CoV-2 .

Learning Objectives:

Gain a further understanding of pathophysiology and diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis.
Discuss the current literature on novel treatments of adhesive capsulitis.
Recognize common pitfalls and reasons for misdiagnosis of adhesive capsulitis.
Understand the role the COVID pandemic has had on the incidence of adhesive capsulitis in patients.
