Conditions

Frozen Shoulder

Interventions

Experimental group:Under the guidance of ultrasound, 1 ml of 40mg/ml triamcinolone acetonide and 7ml of bupivacaine liposome containing 62mg were injected into the glenohumeral joint cavity
Control:Under the guidance of ultrasound, 1 ml of 40mg/ml triamcinolone acetonide and 7 ml of 1% lidocaine were injected into the articular cavity, and 8ml
