Developing a frozen shoulder after a shoulder injury is associated with significant longer work incapacities (3.3–7.5 times) and is responsible for costs of CHF 78 million every year. The presented numbers are for cases covered by the compulsory accident insurance only and do not include the even more frequent idiopathic frozen shoulder cases.
