Abstract: Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a painful frozen shoulder disease that continues for more than 3 months, is also known as frozen shoulder. The glenohumeral joint capsule fibrosis that results from this inflammatory disease is accompanied by substantial range of motion limitation and gradually advancing stiffness (typically external rotation). The findings of this study will support better outcomes for adhesive capsulitis patients in our local population in terms of pain reduction and a decline in SPADI score. Objective: To compare functional outcome of steroid injection vs intra-articular steroid injection in rotator interval in the treatment of early frozen shoulder. Place and Duration of study: Department of Orthopedic Surgery, MTI-HMC, Peshawar from 27 Feb, 2021 to 27 Aug, 2021. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Methods: Patients were randomly allocated to both groups through blocked randomization. Patients in Group A was subjected to intra-articular steroid injections whereas patients in Group B were subjected to steroid Injection in rotator interval. Results: As per functional outcome in both groups, in Group A, 51 (85.0%) patients were showed effective results while in Group B, 42 (70.0%) patients showed effective results.
