INTRODUCTION: Patients with secondary frozen shoulder following anterior dislocation were treated with manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) and injection. METHODS: Ten patients included in study. Oxford Shoulder Scores (OSS), range of motion (ROM) and need for any further treatment measured. RESULTS: Mean follow-up of 93 weeks. OSS and ROM improved in all patients. Three patients required repeat MUA. Two patients developed recurrent instability. DISCUSSION: Secondary frozen shoulder may be more recalcitrant. Recurrent instability is a risk following anterior shoulder dislocation. It is feasible that by performing an MUA to maximise mobility, stability may be sacrificed. It should be performed with caution.
