Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
Shoulder manipulation is indicated for shoulder stiffness to regain range of motion. It is done under general anesthesia and we call it MUGA ( manipulation under general anesthesia ) mainly done for frozen shoulder but is helpful in shoulder stiffness from any condition. Here patient is given general anesthesia and under IITV guidance shoulder is manipulated with abduction , external and internal rotations and flexion extension movements. There is risk of fracture of bone is osteoporosis. Better way of getting range of motion is arthroscopic release of inferior glenohumeral ligament. All the best.
