Although adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder is a common clinical syndrome, adhesive capsulitis in other joints has rarely been reported. Four patients who developed adhesive capsulitis of the hip joint after trauma and two patients with adhesive capsulitis of the ankle, also precipitated by trauma, are described. The diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis is easily made during arthrography when a joint of low volume and high intracapsular pressure is encountered.
